Nature Reviews Neuroscience, Published online: 14 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41583-026-01047-z Structured social hierarchies, in which individuals differ in their access to resources and influence over other group members, are a characteristic of many social species. Rongzhen Yan and Dayu Lin describe the diverse routes through which social hierarchies arise in different species and outline our curre…

Neuroscientists led by Michael Yartsev used wireless neural recording devices to track the brain activity of Egyptian fruit bats as they freely interacted in groups and occasionally vocalized to each other through high-pitched screeches and grunts. The study published in the journal Science provides the first glimpse into how the brains of social mammals process these types of complex group inter…

​When happens in the brain after social ​learning? The connectivity between the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and the temporo-pariental junction is increased. We saw in the Masterclass on Social Neuroscience the importance of these two brain areas, which are part of the default mode network.
