A variety of organisms exhibit collective movement, including schooling fish and flocking birds, where coordinated behavior emerges from the interactions between group members. Despite the prevalence of collective movement in nature, little is known about the neural mechanisms producing each individual's behavior within the group. Here we discuss how a neurobiological approach can enrich our understanding of collective behavior by determining the mechanisms by which individuals interact. We provide examples of sensory systems for social communication during collective movement, highlight recent discoveries about neural systems for detecting the position and actions of social partners, and discuss opportunities for future research. Understanding the neurobiology of collective behavior can provide insight into how nervous systems function in a dynamic social world.
多种生物表现出集体运动，包括鱼群和鸟群，其中协调行为源自群体成员之间的相互作用。尽管集体运动在自然界中很普遍，但对于产生群体中每个个体行为的神经机制知之甚少。在这里，我们讨论了神经生物学方法如何通过确定个体相互作用的机制来丰富我们对集体行为的理解。我们提供了在集体运动过程中进行社会交流的感觉系统的例子，强调了最近关于检测社会伙伴位置和动作的神经系统的发现，并讨论了未来研究的机会。了解集体行为的神经生物学可以深入了解神经系统在动态社会世界中的运作方式。
