Super excited to share this new collaborative work - marmosets use diverse and highly flexible strategies when they cooperate. These strategies are powerfully determined by both social factors (sex, dominance, familiarity) & individual partner identity.
cell.com
Meisner and Shi et al. show that common marmosets flexibly coordinate with partners using both gaze-dependent and rhythmic strategies. Cooperation depends on active social monitoring and is shaped by...

Super excited to share this new work from the lab! We show that oxytocin infusion in the amygdala sustains prosocial behavior via state-dependent amygdala-prefrontal modulation.

Prosocial behaviors are crucial for maintaining primates' complex social relationships. As central regions involved in social decision-making, the basolateral amygdala (BLA) processes social salience...

Excited to share new collaborative work w/ Anirvan Nandy & Monika Jadi using a novel ‘super-seasoning’ approach and dynamic Bayesian network modeling to reveal multi-area causal network dynamics underlying social gaze interaction!.
biorxiv.org
Social gaze is a fundamental channel of primate communication, shaping dynamic interactions and fostering mutual understanding. While prior studies have mapped the behavioral correlates of social...

Super excited to share this new work from the lab (led by Guangyao Qi)! We demonstrate compositional social gaze codes in the prefrontal-amygdala circuits, by testing three predictions from the compositionality hypothesis. 👇👇.
biorxiv.org
Each social gaze can be deconstructed into primitive components, including gaze content, social state, and gaze duration. To reduce dimensionality and facilitate generalization, the brain needs to...

I am super excited to share this new team-based work from three labs and two co-leading authors. We learned that marmosets use diverse and flexible strategies that are gaze-dependent and gaze-independent to cooperate.

In humans, cooperation relies on advanced social cognition, but the extent to which these mechanisms support cooperation in nonhuman primates remains unclear. To investigate this, we examined freely...
