Humans are famously social animals. But they are not alone in their tendency to team up with other individuals of the same species (conspecifics) to reach their goals. In fact, herds of mammals, flocks of birds, or shoals of fish are abundantly observed in nature. How does an animal’s brain recognize other animals of its own kind?

Looking For Teammates: Mostly Consciously

Humans and many other animals live in societies. At a fundamental level, social interactions require individuals to identify others as belonging to their own kind. This usually happens in fractions of a second, often instinctively. Unveiling the neuronal circuits that underly this behavior, however, is anything but trivial.

“Knowing” Teammates: Mostly Unconsciously

“There’s an inbuilt challenge in studying social interactions: For us as observers, actions and reactions are intermingled, both in animal behavior and at the neuronal level,” explains Johannes Larsch, neurobiologist and project leader in Herwig Baier’s department at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology. “This is because individuals taking part in these interactions influence each other. Both are, at the same time, senders and receivers of social signals. It has been particularly hard to investigate the role of the visual system and its associated brain areas.”

Actions And Reactions, Senders And Receivers

Johannes Larsch’s team nevertheless found a way to elucidate the importance of the visual system in social interactions. The scientists developed an experimental virtual reality setup for zebrafish larvae that simulates conspecifics. All that was needed was a projected dot on a screen, which – and this is important – moved across the display with a jerky movement pattern that is stereotypical of swimming zebrafish.

Visual Stimulus For Shoaling Behavior

The zebrafish larvae could not resist this cue: They followed it around for hours, apparently confusing the moving dot with a real conspecific. The researchers had thus discovered a defined visual stimulus that triggers shoaling behavior.The team could now investigate the neuronal processing of the stimulus. The experiments revealed that a moving dot activates a specific set of neurons in a brain region known as the thalamus. The same area of the thalamus gets activated when another zebrafish larva swims nearby.

The Irresistible Visual Cue

“The thalamus is a sensory control center of the brain that integrates and relays sensory inputs,” explains Johannes Larsch. Sensory information is processed on its route to the thalamus, first in the retina and then in the tectum, a major visual center of the vertebrate brain.By the time the information arrives in the thalamus, it has already been filtered for social cues, such as the jerky movements of a potential conspecific.

The Brain’s Thalamus

The nerve cells identified by the researchers in this region of the thalamus connect the visual system of the zebrafish with other brain regions that are active during social behavior.The importance of the newly identified neurons was confirmed when the researchers specifically blocked the function of these cells. Zebrafish larvae lost their interest in conspecifics as well as moving dots and hardly followed them around anymore.“The neurons we discovered thus regulate social approach and affiliation in zebrafish,” says Johannes Kappel, graduate student and lead author of the study.

Social Attraction And Affiliation

“… and many neuronal processes have been conserved during evolution. We also have brain regions that are active when we perceive facial movements or body motion, but the significance of these regions for social behavior has not been explored”, continues Kappel. The study by Kappel, Larsch, Baker and their collaborators has shed light on a part of the brain whose activation provides the elementary “glue” for the bonding of two zebrafish. Collectively, such small-scale interactions create shoals of fish. Social behavior is driven by networks of brains, which are themselves networks of neurons.

Humans Possess A Thalamus, Too

Concludes Baier: “Neurobiological findings, such as ours, can perhaps inspire and enrich the thinking about the self-organization of animal societies in general, which is currently the domain of other scientific disciplines.”

Self-Organization In Animal Societies

A special network that runs from the eye’s retina deep into the brain may help mediate social attraction and affiliation, a new study reveals. It seems that “to see is to know”. But how would we feel about that if it partly or wholly explained our social behavior and relationships? What if we were the zebrafish of the experiment?

Chanakya Niti in English - All Quotes of Chanakya in English

One of the biggest myths about communicating science is that merely presenting people with knowledge will lead to them acting accordingly with logic.This is known as the information deficit model, and the mode of communication we're using here, but between the global pandemic and climate crisis we now have countless examples of how this often doesn’t work.

The Information Deficit Model

Industries are degrading trust in science by hijacking scientific credentials, using “sciency” sounding claims to bolster their clout for profits; companies, such as pharmaceutical companies lately, have most certainly given us plenty of reasons not to trust them. What’s more, science itself doesn’t always get things right, and large factions of the media are stoking sentiments against “elitist” experts and bolstering anti-science views.

Jumping On The (Science) Wagon And Killing The Train Driver

Much of the misinformation we face is intentional and organized, and even worse, research has found lies seem to spread faster online and are often stickier than the truth.All this doubt, conflict, and information overload are eroding people’s trust in scientists, and those often responsible for conveying scientific information to the public, like the media and government officials, are fairing even worse on the trust scales.

No Trust, No Boarding

Psychologist Aviva Philipp-Muller, now at Simon Fraser University, and colleagues dug into the scientific literature on persuasion and communication, to try and outline an up-to-date and cohesive overview on how to tackle this “wicked problem” of anti-science.This distrust of the source of information is one of the four main barriers to accepting science Philipp-Muller and colleagues identify in their review.  When information challenges a person’s core beliefs, challenges the group they identify with, or doesn’t match their learning style are the other main barriers the team highlighted.

The 4 Main Barriers To Accepting Science

Lack of trust in the information source comes up time and time again as one of the key reasons people don’t accept scientific information.Legitimate and robust scientific debate can also confuse people who are not familiar with the scientific process, further damaging trust when it spills into the public domain. To combat these trust issues the researchers suggest highlighting the communal nature of science and emphasizing the wider, prosocial goals of research.

Barrier #1: Distrust Of The Source Of Information

Honestly acknowledging other people’ positions and any drawbacks in your own, rather than brushing them away, can also go a long way to better establishing trust, the team explains.“Pro-science messages can acknowledge that there are valid concerns on the other side, but explain why the scientific position is preferable,” says Philipp-Muller.

Scientists Explain Away, Don’t Brush Away

The way our thinking is wired as an obligatorily social species makes us very vulnerable to sometimes blindly believing those we identify with as part of our own cultural group – no matter how much education we have had. This phenomenon is called cultural cognition.“Work on cultural cognition has highlighted how people contort scientific findings to fit with values that matter to their cultural identities,” write Philipp-Muller and colleagues.

Barrier #2: Information Challenges The Group We Identify With

Political polarization and social media have only enhanced this. For example, in the US, conservatives are more likely to believe scientists that appear on Fox News, and liberals are more likely to trust those on CNN.What is more, social media platforms like Facebook provide customized news feeds that means conservatives and liberals can get highly varied information.To combat this we need to find common ground, create information that’s framed for specific target audiences, and collaborate with communities holding anti-science views, including people traditionally marginalized by science.

Tribal Loyalty And Information Tribalism

The internal conflicts created by information that challenges our social or personal beliefs such as morals and religion, lead to logical fallacies and cognitive biases such as cognitive dissonance.Scientific information can be difficult to swallow, and many individuals would sooner reject the evidence than accept information that suggests they might have been wrong. This inclination is wholly understandable, and scientists should be poised to empathize.

Barrier #3: Information Challenges Our Core Beliefs

“People get their defenses up if they think they are being attacked or that you’re so different from them that you can’t be credible,” says Petty. “Find some places where you agree and work from there.”Counterintuitively, increasing someone’s general scientific literacy can actually backfire, because it provides the skill to better bolster their pre-existing beliefs. Increasing scientific reasoning and media literacy skills, and prebunking, the process of “debunking lies, tactics, or sources before they strike”, or “inoculating people against misinformation” are advised instead.

Prebunking Instead Of Debunking

This problem is the most straightforward of the four – a simple mismatch in how information is being presented and the style best suited to the receiver. This includes things like preferring abstract compared to concrete information, or being promotion or prevention focused.Here, Philipp-Muller and team suggest making use of some of the same tactics that anti-science forces have been using. For example, like the technology and advertising industry, researchers should be using metadata to better target messaging based on people’s profiles according to personal online habits.

Barrier #4: Information Doesn’t Match Our Learning Style

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

In logic, A asserts and B denies. Assertions being proverbially untrue, the presumption would be in favor of B’s innocence were it not that denials are notoriously false.

Surround truth with bitter denial and contradiction and you furnish it with the soil for its permanent growth.

Science adjusts its views based on what’s observed.Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved.

In science it often happens that scientists say, “You know, that’s a really good argument; my position is mistaken,” and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn’t happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.

“A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.” - Alexis Carrel


Distrust of science is a massive problem. In our current environment, it's directly leading to people's deaths. Much of the misinformation we face is intentional and organized, and even worse, research has found lies seem to spread faster online an

Why Some People Are Anti-Science (And, By Extension, Anti-Logic) And What We Can We Do About It

What are conspiracy theories? The belief that certain events or situations are secretly manipulated behind the scenes by powerful forces with negative intent. Conspiracy theories have these 6 things in common:<ul><li>An alleged, secret plot.</li><li>A group of conspirators.</li><li>‘Evidence’ that seems to support the conspiracy theory.</li><li>They falsely suggest that nothing happens by accident and that there are no coincidences; nothing is as it appears and everything is connected.</li><li>They divide the world into good or bad.</li><li>They scapegoat people and groups.</li></ul>

Fighting Disinformation - Identifying conspiracy theories

Why do they flourish? They often appear as a logical explanation of events or situations which are difficult to understand and bring a false sense of control and agency. How do they take root? Conspiracy theories often start as a suspicion. They ask who is benefiting from the event or situation and thus identify the conspirators. Any ‘evidence’ is then forced to fit the theory.Once they have taken root, conspiracy theories can grow quickly. They are hard to refute because any person who tries is seen as being part of the conspiracy.

Flourish and Take Root

Most believe they are true. Others deliberately want to provoke, manipulate or target people for political or financial reasons. Beware: They can come from many sources e.g. internet, friends, relatives.

People spread conspiracy theories for different reasons:

Is this a conspiracy theory? Check before sharing Check the author – who is writing this and why?Unlikely to be a conspiracy theory  <ul><li>The author has recognised qualifications and credentials in the topic</li><li>The author uses verifiable facts and evidence from scientific or academic research</li></ul> Likely to be a conspiracy theory<ul><li>The author is a self-proclaimed expert and not attached to a reputable organisation or institution</li><li>Author claims to have credentials but they don’t withstand scrutiny or are suspended</li></ul>

To prevent conspiracy theories - know that they exist. Be aware. Stop the spread. 

Likely Reliable and Reputable<ul><li>The source has been quoted by several reputable media outlets</li><li>The information is backed by many scientists/academics</li><li>Independent fact-checking websites support the source and related claims</li></ul> Unlikely Reliable and Reputable<ul><li>The source of information is not clear</li><li>The information is shared only by self-proclaimed experts</li><li> Independent fact-checking websites do not support the source and have refuted related claims</li></ul>

Check the source – Is it reliable and reputable?

Likely Balanced<ul><li>The author does not shy away from exploring complexity, including different perspectives</li><li>The author is prepared to acknowledge limits to their knowledge</li><li>The tone is objective, factual</li></ul> Unlikely Balanced<ul><li>The author presents their information as the only valid truth</li><li>The author raises questions instead of providing answers</li><li>The author demonises whoever they assume is behind the alleged secret plot</li><li>The tone is subjective, emotionally charged</li><li>Emotional images or anecdotes are used to illustrate the message</li></ul>

Check the tone and style – Is it balanced and fair or sensationalist and one-dimensional?

Real conspiracies large and small do exist. They are more often centred on single, self-contained events or an individual like an assassination or a coup d’etat. They are unearthed by whistle-blowers and the media, using verifiable facts and evidence.

What is a real conspiracy?

Nobody is free of biases or fears, which could open the door to believing in a conspiracy theory.

Conspiracy theories: What about my own beliefs?

Conspiracy theories often target or discriminate against an entire group perceived as the enemy behind a real or imagined threat. They polarise society and fuel violent extremism. While most people who spread conspiracy theories genuinely believe in them, others deploy them cynically to achieve these effects.

Conspiracy theories can be dangerous

They identify an enemy and a secret plot that threatens peoples' lives or beliefs and spark a defence mechanism, which can fuel discrimination, justify hate crimes and can be exploited by violent extremist groups.They spread mistrust in public institutions, which can lead to political apathy or radicalization.They spread mistrust in scientific and medical information, which can have serious consequences.\

How conspiracy theories damage

Watch out: Perceived "out groups" of society are especially prone to be targets of conspiracy theories, hate speech and disinformation campaigns. This includes people of different origin, religion or sexual orientation.Conspiracy theories can have serious consequences. Take them seriously. Check before sharing. Stop the spread.

How conspiracy theories damage (continued)

Stopping the spread of conspiracy theories is challenging. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. It depends on the level of exposure. People who firmly believe in conspiracy theories are extremely difficult to reach.

Debunking conspiracy theories

Do's<ul><li>Focus on the facts you want to communicate, not the myth you want to debunk.</li><li>Choose your target – the author, source or logic behind the conspiracy theory.</li><li>Always state clearly that the information is wrong, before quoting a conspiracy theory.</li><li>Provide a fact-based alternative explanation.</li><li>If possible, use visual aids to back your argument.</li></ul>DON'Ts<ul><li>Don't focus on the conspiracy theory first. Don't reinforce it.</li><li>Don't overwhelm with information.</li></ul>

DEBUNKING – Facts and logic matter

Many conspiracy theorists are deeply convinced of their beliefs. Their whole life and worldview are centred around them.

How to talk to somebody who firmly believes in conspiracy theories

<ul><li>Any argument challenging the conspiracy theory may be taken as proof that you are part of the conspiracy and reinforce the belief.</li><li>They probably believe in more than one conspiracy theory.</li><li>They will probably argue hard to defend their beliefs.</li></ul>

When talking to somebody who firmly believes in a conspiracy theory be aware that:

<ul><li>Encourage open debate and questions.</li><li>Ask detailed questions about their theory in order to trigger self-reflection.</li><li>Enlist trusted former conspiracy theorists who once believed the same thing.</li><li>Be cautious and use a variety of sources around the theme.</li><li>Don't ridicule. Try to understand why they believe what they believe.</li><li>Show empathy. Often the person may be truly fearful and distressed.</li><li>Go step by step. Focus on simple facts and logic instead of covering every detail.</li><li>Don't push. Too much pressure might backfire. Leave them time to process and try again.</li><li>Use empathy and questions.</li></ul>

So, what can you do?

Be careful, conspiracy theories are deceptive: they ignore scientific evidence and falsely blame individuals and groups that are not responsible for the pandemic. Do not share them.

Stop the spread.

The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people - at work, at school, at home. It's wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his new and paradigm-shattering book DRIVE: THE SURPRISING TRUTH ABOUT WHAT MOTIVATES US, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does - and how that affects every aspect of our lives. He demonstrates that while the old-fashioned carrot-and-stick approach worked successfully in the 20th century, it's precisely the wrong way to motivate people for today's challenges. In DRIVE, he reveals the three elements of true motivation: AUTONOMY - the desire to direct our own lives; MASTERY - the urge to get better and better at something that matters; PURPOSE - the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves. Along the way, he takes us to companies that are enlisting new approaches to motivation and introduces us to the scientists and entrepreneurs who are pointing a bold way forward. DRIVE is bursting with big ideas - the rare book that will change how you think and transform how you live.

Daniel H. Pink is the author of six provocative books — including his newest, When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing. WHEN has spent 4 months on the New York Times bestseller list and was named a Best Book of 2018 by Amazon and iBooks. Dan's other books include the long-running New York Times bestseller A Whole New Mind and the #1 New York Times bestsellers Drive and To Sell is Human. His books have won multiple awards and have been translated into 39 languages. He and his wife, who live in Washington, DC, have three children -- a college senior, a college sophomore, and a high school sophomore.
