Scope
Individual and Social Behaviors publishes significantly innovative findings and major theoretical advances regarding psychobiological bases in the expression of behavior: both perspectives are welcome, from the issue of inter-individual differences to the theme of social and group interactions. This section welcomes work in all animal species, ranging from the most evolved among invertebrates up to mammals, including humans.
Key research areas covered by this section include, but are not limited to:
• Social recognition and interaction: dominance hierarchies and cultural factors, among others
• Environmental enrichment shaping play behavior during neuro-developmental trajectories
• Attraction/avoidance behaviors, including empathy
• Aggressive behaviors
• Microbiome, Neuroimmunity, Epigenetics as determinants of individual and social behaviors
• Behavioral flexibility, coping strategies, top-down self-control
• Sleep/wake patterns and circadian rhythms, biological clocks
• Feeding and other appetitive / consommatory behaviors
Authors submitting manuscripts other than Original Research should highlight in their cover letter how their publication record on the same topic has prepared them for contributing to the field. We also request that prospective organizers of Research Topics (info at www.frontiersin.org/about/RTGuidelines) provide the Editorial Office (neuroscience.researchtopics@frontiersin.org) with their CV and clarify in the proposal how their research expertise qualifies them to organize a Research Topic on that particular subject.
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics.

Individual and Social Behaviors welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Case Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Individual and Social Behaviors, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Individual and Social Behaviors will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Behavioral Neuroscience.
