Decisions are seldom entirely devoid of social influence. Even in organisms that have traditionally been considered non-social, the social environment plays an important role in mediating behavior. Here we review the current knowledge regarding the neural basis of social behaviors in non-eusocial insects, with a particular focus on fruit flies, cockroaches and locusts. Each are shown to offer valuable, and complementary, insights into how social behavior is mediated at the neural level. The presented studies demonstrate that social cues, which are integrated in primary sensory areas, exert a considerable influence on behavior. Further studies with these models, and others, will provide important insights into the diversity of social behaviors, and into the way that these are encoded in dedicated brain and neuronal structures.
决策很少完全不受社会影响。即使在传统上被认为是非社会性的生物中，社会环境也在调节行为方面发挥着重要作用。在这里，我们回顾了关于非社会性昆虫社会行为的神经基础的现有知识，特别关注果蝇、蟑螂和蝗虫。它们都为我们提供了有价值的、互补的见解，说明社会行为是如何在神经层面上被调节的。这些研究表明，社会线索在初级感觉区域被整合，对行为有相当大的影响。这些模型以及其他模型的进一步研究将为我们提供关于社会行为多样性的重要见解，并深入了解这些行为是如何在专门的大脑和神经元结构中编码的。
