Helping Behavior in Prairie Voles: A Model of Empathy and the Importance of Oxytocin

K. Kitano, A. Yamagishi, K. Horie, K. Nishimori, N. Sato

This study shows prairie voles learn to help distressed conspecifics by opening a door, and oxytocin is necessary for this behavior, with no sex differences observed.

Oxytocin signals via Gi and Gq to drive persistent CA2 pyramidal cell firing and strengthen CA3-CA1 neurotransmission

K. Eyring, J. Liu, G. König, S. Hidema, K. Nishimori, E. Kostenis, R. Tsien

This study shows oxytocin modulates CA2 pyramidal cell firing through Gq and Gi proteins, enhancing CA3-CA1 neurotransmission by affecting interneurons.
