We often think of survival as an individual act. But when facing hardship together, social groups may function more like a unified system than a collection of separate individuals
Excited to share our latest work @NatureNeuro on collective social dynamics

We are excited to share our latest work in @ScienceMagazine studying cooperative behavior in both biological and artificial intelligence systems — fantastic work by @JanineJiang22, Linfan Gu, and wonderful collaboration with @JonathanCKao! science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Thrilled to share our latest work in @Nature studying inter-brain neural dynamics in both biological and artificial intelligence systems — amazing work by @xzh_brain, Nguyen Phi, and fantastic collaboration with @JonathanCKao! Read the full article here: rdcu.be/euu5Z
So proud of @lylekingsbury who has just won the Donald B. Lindsley Prize in Behavioral Neuroscience from @SfNtweets for his amazing PhD work in our lab. Lyle was the first graduate student to join my lab in 2016. Congratulations Lyle!
A postdoctoral position is available @TheHongLab @UCLA
Interested in the neural circuit of social behavior in mice? We study how neural dynamics regulate social behavior and how inter-brain properties arise across socially interacting brains.
