✨ EARLY CAREER AWARD nominations are open! ✨
This award recognizes the formation of new approaches or paradigms within the field of social neuroscience, and/or the development or advancement of research that cuts across multiple fields of neuroscience to understand social cognition & behavior. 🏆
Monitoring gene expression in the brain with a simple blood test?
In collaboration with @jerzyszablowski.bsky.social & his lab we figured out how to do it nonhuman primates using noninvasive neuroengineering of synthetic serum markers.

How does the brain compile information to then make decisions? The @neuralnandy.bsky.social, Jadi, and @stevewcchang.bsky.social labs show that the brain uses the same conserved algorithm to make complex social decisions (such as to cooperate) as it does to make perceptual decisions.
Successful cooperation requires the dynamic integration of social cues. However, the neural mechanisms supporting this complex process remain unknown.…

Shi et al. demonstrate that marmosets coordinate cooperative actions through a gaze-dependent decision process. By combining wireless recordings with computational modeling, they show that the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex implements social evidence accumulation during active looking, providing a mechanistic link between visual social monitoring and strategic cooperative decisions.
