Social plasticity in fish: integrating mechanisms and function.
Social plasticity is a ubiquitous feature of animal behaviour. Animals must adjust the expression of their social behaviour to the nuances of daily social life and to the transitions between life-history stages, and the ability to do so affects their Darwinian fitness. Here, an integrative framework is proposed for understanding the proximate mechanisms and ultimate consequences of social plast...
متن کاملNeurogenomic mechanisms of social plasticity.
Group-living animals must adjust the expression of their social behaviour to changes in their social environment and to transitions between life-history stages, and this social plasticity can be seen as an adaptive trait that can be under positive selection when changes in the environment outpace the rate of genetic evolutionary change. Here, we propose a conceptual framework for understanding ...
متن کاملSocial and neural modulation of sexual plasticity in teleost fish.
Teleost fishes are the 'champions' of sexual plasticity among vertebrates. Several species have two male reproductive morphs with distinct suites of behavioral, somatic, neuronal, endocrinological, and life history traits. Here, we consider recent studies of the social and neural modulation of sexual plasticity for such species with a focus on two neuropeptides, gonadotropin releasing hormone (...
متن کاملSpike timing dependent plasticity: mechanisms, significance, and controversies
Long-term modification of synaptic strength is one of the basic mechanisms of memory formation and activity-dependent refinement of neural circuits. This idea was purposed by Hebb to provide a basis for the formation of a cell assembly. Repetitive correlated activity of pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons can induce long-lasting synaptic strength modification, the direction and extent of whi...
