社会认同对于社会性物种的生存至关重要，也是群体生活、选择性繁殖、配对和统治等级的必要条件。小鼠和大鼠是社会记忆研究中最常用的动物模型，然而目前的范式并不能解释它们在野外表现出的复杂的社会动态。为了评估正在研究的社会记忆的范围，我们对过去20年内发表的测试小鼠和大鼠社会记忆的神经科学文章进行了系统分析，并分析了他们的方法。我们的研究结果表明，尽管这些啮齿动物的丰富的社会记忆能力，大多数的社会识别论文探讨短期记忆和短期熟悉程度与主题和熟悉的刺激之间的最小曝光-一个狭窄的类型的社会记忆。我们已经确定了目前研究不足或代表性不足的几个关键领域：亲属关系，配偶，社会等级，性别变异和衰老的影响。此外，报告社会刺激变量，如住房历史，应变，和年龄，是有限的，这可能会妨碍再现性。总的来说，我们的数据突出了所研究的社会记忆多样性和社会变量对社会记忆机制的影响方面的巨大差距。
Social recognition is crucial for survival in social species, and necessary for group living, selective reproduction, pair bonding, and dominance hierarchies. Mice and rats are the most commonly used animal models in social memory research, however current paradigms do not account for the complex social dynamics they exhibit in the wild. To assess the range of social memories being studied, we conducted a systematic analysis of neuroscience articles testing the social memory of mice and rats published within the past two decades and analyzed their methods. Our results show that despite these rodent’s rich social memory capabilities, the majority of social recognition papers explore short-term memories and short-term familiarity levels with minimal exposure between subject and familiar stimuli—a narrow type of social memory. We have identified several key areas currently understudied or underrepresented: kin relationships, mates, social ranks, sex variabilities, and the effects of aging. Additionally, reporting on social stimulus variables such as housing history, strain, and age, is limited, which may impede reproducibility. Overall, our data highlight large gaps in the diversity of social memories studied and the effects social variables have on social memory mechanisms.
