PLOS BiologySuccessful #SocialInteraction requires both the motivation to initiate it and the ability to maintain it. @Karolina_R_S @e_knapska &co use #optogenetics and #chemogenetics to reveal specific neural pathways that influence these two social interaction components #PLOSBiolgy https://plos.io/3R0HuXU
Optogenetic and chemogenetic approaches reveal differences in neuronal circuits that mediate initiation and maintenance of social interaction
For social interaction to be successful, two conditions must be met: the motivation to initiate it and the ability to maintain it. This study uses both optogenetic and chemogenetic approaches to reveal the specific neural pathways that selectively influence those two social interaction components.
