This study assesses prosocial choices in male mice using a new behavioral paradigm, finding that only 16% of animals show prosocial preferences based on social attention.

This study shows that submissive rats' multimodal cues increase prosocial choices by dominant rats in a reward-sharing task.

pyControl provides open-source hardware and software for designing and running complex behavioural experiments with improved reproducibility and scalability.

The paper introduces and validates a novel Food Competition test to assess stable dominance in pair-housed male rats, showing that food consumption asymmetry reliably predicts social hierarchy.

This study shows that peripubertal stress slows adult spatial learning and is linked to corticosterone response adaptation, not peak levels, and affects emotional reactivity and hippocampal plasticity.
