Stress responsiveness and survival: "We show that individuals with greater stress responsiveness to previous droughts later had higher survival across a severe El Niño drought."

"• Female rats engage in structured patterns of sexual bouts and time-outs. • Higher receptivity leads to more sexual bouts and shorter time-outs. • Sexual bouts serve as an indicator of copulatory intensity." #animalbehaviour #behavioralresearch #neuroskyence

Social hierarchy in mice: "two neuronal populations show opposite changes in activity during effortful pushes in competition. In vivo and in vitro electrophysiology recordings revealed inhibition from the lose-related pathway to the win-related pathway"

🐾 Exciting news from the Behaviour Forum: Meet movement, a powerful Python package for animal behavior research! 🚀 Developed with the community in mind, it’s here to simplify body movement analysis. Let’s dive in! 👇 #AnimalBehavior #OpenSource #Python

🐾 Here’s your recap of key updates and events from The Behaviour Forum! Let’s dive in 👇, a thread 🧵 #BehavioralResearch #AnimalWelfare #PreclinicalScience

" aggression selectively activates GABAergic neurons in the posterior substantia innominata (pSI), an extend amygdala region critical for aggressive behaviors in both sexes of mice, with males exhibiting higher neuronal activity during the attack. "

And a related note that the journal Lab Animal has partnered with us and now explicitly welcomes protocols for peer review. 2/2

Do you use public repositories for your protocols? Do you publish and link them to your articles? Which tools do you use? @protocolsio.bsky.social or others ? #neuroscience #repositories

THIS is exactly the resource that was missing during my PhD: a place to exchange and learn from behavioral experts! It would have saved me hundreds of hours adapting protocols "no one" knew how to apply properly!!

Do you have a question regarding a behavioral protocol ? You want to share a new tool that helped your research? Or you just want to connect with the behavioral research community? JOIN the forum today: www.thebehaviourforum.org 🧪🧠🐭🐾 #neuroscience #neuroskyence #animalbehavior

"Most notably, we found that CD1 dominance rankings based on the tube test negatively correlated with rankings from all three other assays, suggesting that the tube test may measure a different behavior in CD1 mice." Beautiful work from @drnancypadilla.bsky.social lab
