Evolution of social behavior and its neurobiological basis—where we began, and where we are going

Understanding how neural systems evolve to coordinate animal social behavior is a longstanding goal of modern biology. Historically, specializations to the brain are thought to underlie the diversification of social phenotypes, whether this entails the emergence of novel circuits...

Size and shape of fuzzy spheres from matrix/membrane correspondence

Abstract We study the size and shape statistics of ground state fuzzy spheres when projected onto the transverse plane, utilizing the regularized SU(N = 2) matrix model in D = (1 + 3)-dimensional spacetime. We show that they appear as ellipses, from matrix/membrane correspondence...

Multimethod examination of change in autistic preschoolers' emotion dysregulation in the context of parenting stress intervention

Background Many autistic preschoolers experience heightened emotion dysregulation and rely heavily on parents for co‐regulatory support, which may be compromised by elevated parenting stress. Methods We examined secondary outcomes of a randomized trial (ClinicalTrials.gov – NCT03...
