Dopaminergic mechanisms of dynamical social specialization in mouse microsocieties

This study shows that dopaminergic activity in the ventral tegmental area shapes social roles and labor division in mouse triads through competitive and cooperative strategies.

Female C57BL/6J mice perform distinctive urination behaviour accompanied by ultrasonic vocalisations sequences with a stereotypic temporal organisation.

The paper describes a new behavior in female C57BL/6J mice where they emit specific ultrasonic vocalizations during urination, with stereotyped inter-USV intervals and increased locomotor activity.

Complex social behaviour during an extended period of time in a valproic acid animal model of autism spectrum disorder.

This study introduces a novel behavioral tracking method to assess complex social behaviors in female VPA mice over extended periods, revealing treatment-specific and time-dependent social deficits.

Excessive self-grooming, gene dysregulation and imbalance between the striosome and matrix compartments in the striatum of Shank3 mutant mice

This study identifies gene dysregulation and striosome-matrix imbalance in Shank3 mutant mice, linking these changes to behavioral abnormalities associated with autism.
