Abstract

Variation on a Theme: Given the incredible diversity and complexity in social behavior and ecology that exists across animal taxa, revealing the evolution of neural mechanisms for behavior is a great challenge. O'Connell and Hofmann (p. 1154 ) examined the expression profiles of several genes involved in the social behavior network and the mesolimbic reward system in 88 species across five vertebrate lineages. A remarkable level of conservation was observed in brain regions linked to social behavior and decision-making, but flexibility seems to have been maintained through variability in neuroendocrine ligand expression across the brain.

Within the brain, increases in immediate early gene (IEG) activity are observed during social ascent throughout the social decision-making network (SDMN) as well as several other brain regions including the prefrontal cortex.
“Within the brain, increases in immediate early gene (IEG) activity is observed during social ascent throughout the social decision-making network (SDMN), a system of evolutionarily conserved interconnected fore- and midbrain nuclei that strongly coordinate social behavior [3,13], as well as several other brain regions including the prefrontal cortex [14,15].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
