Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified neurons that are essential for mice to engage in social interactions with novel individuals.

Researchers discovered that neurons linked to the reward system are responsible for motivating us to interact with our fellow human beings.

Mouse pups have increased activity in certain neurons in the centre of their brains when they interact with their mothers, which is linked to them showing fewer signs of distress ...

By studying the brains of macaque monkeys during turn-taking exercises, researchers may be one step closer to understanding how individual neurons in the frontal cortex work together to analyze ...

Tracking the neurons that make us social Date: December 2, 2021 Source: Université de Genève Summary: Human beings, like most mammals, need social interactions to live and develop. The processes ...

Investigators have discovered two groups of neurons that play key roles in social interactions between primates -- one that is activated when deciding whether to cooperate with another individual ...

Social gaze interaction likely serves a critical role in shaping social connectedness, he added, and the prefrontal-amygdala networks might make that happen. “The fact that interactive social gaze ...

Mirror neurons are brain cells that allow us to empathize with others. They are key to human interaction and social skills. UCLA neuroscientists, using brain scanning technology, have discovered ...

The neurons, sprinkled across the frontal parts of the brain, are strikingly powerful. They tracked how players behaved—were they cooperative, or selfish?

In social experiments, three monkeys sat around a rotary table and took turns offering food to one of the other two monkeys. Certain neurons in the brain responded to the actions of other monkeys ...

Asynchronous activity in balanced networks of excitatory and inhibitory neurons is believed to constitute the primary medium for the propagation and transformation of information in the neocortex.

A team from the UNIGE has discovered that neurons linked to the reward system are responsible for motivating us to interact with our fellow human beings.
