The paper identifies four stable behavioral identities in Drosophila and shows how social experience, mating, and microbiome manipulation alter their expression, revealing social memory.

The paper studies aggression and social dominance in mice using a semi-natural setup, finding that environmental enrichment increases aggression as an adaptive response while oxytocin receptor deficiency leads to hyper-aggression and disrupted social hierarchies.

The paper shows that single neurons can optimally code complex stimuli without adaptation, using differentiator neurons that capture arbitrary input statistics.
