Presenter’s Abstract

During this webinar, I review how the social environment can influence one's health, behavior, and neurobiology. I take you through my journey of exploring the effect of social isolation on neural circuits, and why research animals' housing environment is one of the most pivotal considerations to address for experimental design and data interpretation. I discuss some common challenges associated with group-housing in mice, offering insights to facilitate harmonious social grouping while integrating miniscope recordings, and reasons that individual social differences can be welcomed into your experiment.
