🆕 from @uclagreenlab.bsky.social:

Social isolation isn’t a static state, rather a dynamic system that changes over time. By modeling how internal and external factors interact, this framework may help identify who’s at risk and guide personalized support.

Social isolation, or having objectively few social relationships, is associated with psychiatric and physical health problems. However, it is unclear how social isolation develops in an individual. He...

🆕 from @mathiasvschmidt.bsky.social & colleagues:

A new behavioral measure after stress in mice tracks not just time in the interaction zone but how closely they approach an aggressor — a social engagement index that better captures stress responses.
