Enhanced partner preference in a promiscuous species by manipulating the expression of a single gene

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to substantially increase partner preference formation in the socially promiscuous meadow vole by using viral vector V1, a R gene transfer into the ventral forebrain. The conclusion states a change in the expression of a single-gene in the larger context of pre-existing genetic and shows that neural circuits can profoundly alter social behavior, providing a potential molecular mechanism for the rapid evolution of complex social behavior.

Article Abstract:

The impact of social interactions on the way animals within highly coordinated groups acquire and process information is discussed. The group behavior like flocking has provided clues about the evolution of sociality and also for the development of innovative technological solutions in order to navigate through complex and unpredictable data environments.
