Dopaminergic mechanisms of dynamical social specialization
Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; [doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10301-4][1]
Longitudinal tracking of mice reveals that stable, specialized social roles emerge spontaneously within groups during a foraging task, with dopaminergic activity in the ventral tegmental area driving sex-divergent patterns of specialization.
