Oxytocin facilitates social behavior of female rats via selective modulation of interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex

Stephanie Schimmer, Alan Kania, Arthur Lefèvre, Konstantinos Afordakos, Kai-Yi Wang, Julia Lebedeva, Andrei V. Rozov, Androniki Raftogianni, Rishika Tiwari, Shai Netser, Ana Zovko, Huma Shaheen, Jonas Schimmer, Ryan Patwell, Clémence Denis, , Valery Grinevich

This study identifies a circuit in the medial prefrontal cortex where oxytocin modulates interneurons to promote social behavior in female rats, even under physiological stress.

Excitatory neurons in stratum radiatum provide an alternative pathway for excitation flow that escapes perisomatic inhibition

Julia Lebedeva, David Jappy, Azat Nasretdinov, Alina Vazetdinova, Viktoriya G. Krut’, Rostislav Sokolov, Yulia V. Dobryakova, Marina Eliava, Valery Grinevich, Andrei V. Rozov

The paper identifies stratum radiatum excitatory neurons (ExNR) as an alternative pathway for excitation in the hippocampus that bypasses perisomatic inhibition.

Altered PVN-to-CA2 hippocampal oxytocin pathway and reduced number of oxytocin-receptor expressing astrocytes in heart failure rats

Ferdinand Althammer, Ranjan K. Roy, Arthur Lefèvre, Rami Salim Najjar, Kai Schoenig, Dušan Bartsch, Marina Eliava, Rafaela G. Feresin, Elizabeth A. D. Hammock, Anne Z. Murphy, Alexandre Charlet, Valery Grinevich, Javier Eduardo Stern

The paper investigates changes in the PVN-to-CA2 oxytocin pathway in heart failure rats, finding altered oxytocinergic innervation and reduced OTR-expressing astrocytes.

Oxytocin Acts on Astrocytes in the Central Amygdala to Promote a Positive Emotional State

Jérôme Wahis, Angel Baudon, Ferdinand Althammer, Damien Kerspern, Stéphanie Goyon, Daisuke Hagiwara, Arthur Lefèvre, Lara Barteczko, Benjamin Boury‐Jamot, Benjamin Bellanger, Marios Abatis, Miriam Da Silva Gouveia, Diego Benusiglio, Marina Eliava, Andrei V. Rozov, , Alexandre Charlet

This study shows that oxytocin acts on astrocytes in the central amygdala to promote a positive emotional state, challenging the notion that oxytocin only affects neurons.
