This research investigates how social cues influence fear responses in animals, particularly rats and fruit flies. By studying neural mechanisms, the project aims to understand how defense behaviors are communicated within groups, enhancing knowledge of social learning and threat detection.
A great deal is known about the neural basis of associative fear learning.
However, many animal species are able to use social cues to recognize threats, a defence mechanism that may be less costly than learning from self-experience.
We have previously shown that rats perceive the cessation of movement-evoked sound as a signal of danger and its resumption as a signal of safety.
To study transmission of fear between rats we assessed the behavior of an observer while witnessing a demonstrator rat…
