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.

The paper investigates CRH neuron activation in response to different stressors in mice, identifying differential activation patterns across brain regions.

This study shows that activating somatostatin neurons in the BNST enhances cued fear memory consolidation in mice without affecting immediate fear expression.
