Group Behavior: Social Context Modulates Behavioral Responses to Sensory Stimuli

A new study reveals an unanticipated role for social context in driving group behavior of a solitary species to a sensory stimulus and is mediated by mechanosensory neurons signaling touch interactions among individuals. A new study reveals an unanticipated role for social context in driving group b...
