September 16, 2025 — University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USANew research published in PLOS Biology reveals that several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes previously linked to social behavior in humans. According to Ian Traniello and colleagues, these findings point to ancient molecular roots of social behavior that have been conserved across species. Understanding Individual Differences in Sociability In social species, individuals display varying levels of sociability — some are highly connected and…

Overconsumption of fatty, sugary foods leads to changes in brain receptors, according to new animal research at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The new research results are being presented at the 2009 annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior (SSIB), the foremost society for research into all aspects of eating and drinking behavior. The results have implications for understanding bulimia and other binge eating disorders….
