Analysis of the hypothalamic oxytocin system and oxytocin receptor-expressing astrocytes in a mouse model of Prader-Willi syndrome

Ferdinand Althammer, Moritz Claudius Wimmer, Quirin Krabichler, Stephanie Küppers, Jonas Schimmer, Henning Fröhlich, Laura Dötsch, Tim Gruber, Selina Wunsch, Tim S. Schubert, Matthew K. Kirchner, Javier Eduardo Stern, Alexandre Charlet, Valery Grinevich, Christian Patrick Schaaf

This study examines the oxytocin system and OTR-expressing astrocytes in a mouse model of PWS, finding reduced oxytocin cells and OTR-expressing astrocytes in specific brain regions with sex-specific differences.

A thalamo-preoptic pathway promoting social touch

David W. Keller, Tamás Láng, Melinda Cservenák, Gina Puska, János Barna, Veronika Csillag, Imre Farkas, Dóra Zelena, Fanni Dóra, Stephanie Küppers, Lara Barteczko, Ted Björn Usdin, Miklós Palkovits, Mazahir T. Hasan, Valery Grinevich, Árpád Dobolyi

The paper identifies a thalamo-preoptic pathway that controls social touch by bypassing the cerebral cortex, involving PTH2-expressing neurons and a conserved circuit across species.

A novel analgesic pathway from parvocellular oxytocin neurons to the periaqueductal gray

Mai Iwasaki, Arthur Lefèvre, Ferdinand Althammer, Olga Łąpieś, Louis Hilfiger, Damien Kerspern, Meggane Melchior, Stephanie Küppers, Quirin Krablicher, Ryan Patwell, Sabine Christiane Herpertz, Beate Ditzen, Kai Schönig, Dušan Bartsch, Javier Eduardo Stern, , Alexandre Charlet

The paper identifies a novel analgesic pathway involving parvocellular oxytocin neurons projecting to the vlPAG, which suppresses spinal cord sensory neuron activity and alleviates pain.
