Using seasonality and birdsong to understand mechanisms underlying context-appropriate shifts in social motivation and reward
Social motivation and reward are dynamic and flexible, shifting adaptively across contexts to
meet changing social demands. This is exceptionally apparent when seasonal contexts are …

Evidence that flocking behavior is rewarded by singing, flock mates, and mu opioid receptors in the nucleus accumbens
It has been proposed that social groups are maintained both by reward resulting from
positive social interactions and by the reduction of a negative state that would otherwise be …
