Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in big data approaches to neurogenetics, neuroimaging technology, and behavioral modeling have recontextualized our understanding of sociosexual behavior in both human and animal models. This Special Issue will focus on contemporary neuroscience research uncovering the neural representations of social behavior across species and model systems from emerging leaders in the behavioral neurobiology field. The issue will highlight research that holds great promise for translation from basic neuroscientific experiments performed in the lab and in the wild which aim to help to better understand social communication and associated neurodivergent conditions, such as autism spectrum disorders.
