Evolutionarily conserved role of oxytocin in social fear contagion in zebrafish

Oxytocin is necessary and sufficient for social fear contagion in zebrafish supporting an evolutionary conserved role for oxytocin in emotional contagion among vertebrates.

Social and asocial learning in zebrafish are encoded by a shared brain network that is differentially modulated by local activation

Group living animals can use social and asocial cues to predict the presence of a reward or a punishment in the environment through associative learning. The degree to which social and asocial learning share the same mechanisms is still a matter of …
