SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHIATIRY FEEDTITLE: Your brain starts making social decisions before you do
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260602021629.htm
Researchers found that social behavior begins in the brain before it becomes visible as movement. In zebrafish, a coordinated pattern of activity spread across the brain several seconds before the animals approached another fish. A higher brain region called the pallium played a key role, and fish with stronger neural signals were generally more social.

In bumble bee colonies, the development of a female larva into either a sterile worker or a reproductive queen is determined by the amount of juvenile hormone fed to them by adult worker bees.

🦜🗣️ A study of over 800 #birds showed that #parrots use human names as labels for specific individuals in their households.
Researchers found that the birds vocalize these names during social interactions such as greetings or when seeking attention. The behavior indicates that parrots cognitively associate specific #sounds with individual #people and #animals.

🧠 Interesting review by Montague & Kocher on #naturalistic #neuroscience: Nature-inspired neuroscience argues that neuroscience gains by looking beyond a few standard model organisms. Across the animal kingdom, nervous systems have evolved many different solutions for sensing, acting, and learning. Embracing this diversity may reveal both shared principles and mechanisms that mainstream models have missed:
