This study identifies a transient CRH signal in hypothalamic neurons that coordinates social investigation in mice by modulating behavior during social encounters.

This study identifies CRH neurons in the hypothalamus as critical for rapid social appraisal, showing their activity scales with social context and persists despite behavioural habituation.

The paper shows CRH neurons adapt to chronic glucocorticoid exposure by increasing synaptic strength to maintain output stability.
