Investigation of the Fasciola Cinereum, Absent in BTBR mice, and Comparison with the Hippocampal Area CA2

The paper characterizes Avpr1b neuronal subpopulations in the fasciola cinereum and dorsal CA2 of mice, finding differences in gene expression between wildtype and BTBR mice, a model for autism.

Stimulation of median raphe terminals in dorsal CA2 reduces social investigation in male mice specifically investigating social stimulus of ovariectomized female mice

This study shows that optogenetic stimulation of median raphe to dorsal CA2 serotonin projections reduces social interaction in male mice without affecting social memory.
