The paper identifies an oxytocinergic circuit from the paraventricular hypothalamus to the medial olfactory tubercle that drives prosocial grooming in mice by inhibiting mOT neurons via OXTR and GIRK channels.

This study investigates how inflammation in the olfactory epithelium affects the olfactory bulb in schizophrenia and related disorders, finding correlations between immune-related gene expression and OB volume reduction.

The paper shows that self-grooming in mice increases social attraction through chemosensory cues, using optogenetic induction of grooming behavior.

This study shows CNOT1 enhances phosphorylation of CLOCK and BMAL1 via PKA, stabilizing them and inhibiting their transcriptional activity in the mammalian circadian clock.

This study investigates the functional role of the cortico-striatal pathway from the piriform cortex to the olfactory tubercle in mice, showing it modulates odor coding through monosynaptic connections.
