Social behaviour and interaction
- Submission status

Social behaviour characterizes the interactions that occur among individuals of the same species. These can be for example, parental, cooperative, altruistic, or competitive in nature and are thought to have an impact on survival, development, and one’s own well-being. Despite their importance, the mechanisms underlying interactions among social animals, including humans, are unclear. Moreover, social interactions seem to vary widely across individuals, yet the factors that drive these differences are yet to be determined.
The present Collection welcomes original research articles investigating the factors that modulate interindividual differences in social behaviour and interaction, and the neurobiological processes that underlie them.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3.
