Indeed, an excellent recommendation: Tristram D. Wyatt’s “#AnimalBehaviour: A Very Short Introduction” is a useful reminder for #NaturalisticNeuroscience: #Behavior is not just output, but evolved action in ecological and social context. Tinbergen’s questions, costs, signals, conflict, cooperation. This is exactly the conceptual bridge we need between eg #NeuralDynamics and real-world behavior.

🧠 New paper by Zipple et al.: Standard laboratory housing may itself shape what we interpret as "#anxiety" in mice. Transferring adult mice to a more #naturalistic environment blocked the persistent fear response normally induced by the elevated plus maze, suggesting that this classic phenotype is environmentally contingent and rapidly reversible. Unfortunately, closed access paper:
