Pupillometry and brain-wide c-Fos mapping uncover multimodal mirror emotional contagion related networks of mice

Puntos clave

• Mirror emotional contagion activates distinct neural networks, enhancing understanding of emotional sharing in animals.
• Key evidence includes changes in pupillometry and c-Fos expression across various brain regions involved in emotion.
• The analysis employed pupillometry and brain-wide c-Fos mapping to identify multisensory networks in mice.
• These findings suggest complex emotional processes in mice, warranting further investigation into shared emotional states.
