Oxytocin-mediated social preference and socially reinforced reward learning in the miniature fish Danionella cerebrum Penalva-Tena etΒ al. demonstrate that Danionella cerebrum, a miniature fish that is gaining popularity as a neuroscience model, seeks out conspecifics and that the resulting social interactions can sup...
