Abstract

Abstract: Social transfer of fear is a potent tool facilitating response to danger in animals forming social groups. With many factors influencing the transfer—such as proximity of the animal receiving information to the donor, familiarity, proximity of danger, and species‐specific coping strategies—it allows studies of neuronal correlates of a variety of behavioral responses. Since both the transfer of fear and social modulation of fear responses are impaired in many neuropsychological disorders, the models described in this article could be useful in disentangling the neuronal circuitry involved in the pathogenesis of these disorders. © 2019 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
