The GRC conference The Neuroscience of Social Behaviors, focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms, neural circuits and neuronal computations that support social behaviors and social interactions. As we have been cruelly reminded during the pandemic, social interactions are an essential part of our lives. However, we still know very little of the underlying neuronal processes that support social behaviors. In addition, patients suffering from psychiatric diseases often experience impaired social cognition and have difficulties forming and maintaining social relationships. Importantly, several of these diseases are also worsened by social conditions such as isolation or bullying, and cases of mental illnesses involving social deficits are reported to be increasing each year. Because social interactions are essential for the survival of most animal species, understanding the biological and circuit mechanisms underlying these behaviors is critical for understanding how social cognition in humans may be impacted by disease.
