Read moreIndividual 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 / consummatory 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.
