Prsentation by: Nathan Insel, Ph.D.University of MontanaAssistant Professor, Behavioral & Systems Neuroscience Dr. Nathan Insel runs a research program studying how Neural Interactions support Social Expectations and Learning (NInSEL).  The NInSEL lab employs a range of behavioral and neural techniques to examine how the mammalian forebrain acquires knowledge about other individuals. This includes studying how animals use action-observation cycles to reduce uncertainty about others and establish stable social relationships.  Experiments are primarily performed in degus, a small Chilean rodent with a rich repertoire of social behaviors.
