Abstract

New research from Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile explores the role of dominance hierarchy in social behavior during spatial movement. The study found that rodents establish dominance hierarchies, which influence their behavior during collective navigation for foraging or migration. Dominant animals showed higher firing rates and stronger neuronal entrainment in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, suggesting that dominance hierarchy influences behavioral performance during contingent social interactions. These findings contribute to our understanding of the social dynamics and neural mechanisms underlying collective movement in animals. [Extracted from the article]
