This study shows that loss of Shank3 in mice affects the recruitment of heterogeneous neuronal populations in the prefrontal cortex during social and anxiety-related behaviors.

The paper identifies that co-released opposing signaling molecules, Neurokinin B and GABA, from Tac2+ neurons in the mPFC control distinct phases of aggression escalation and release in mice.

The paper identifies heterogeneous neuronal populations in the medial prefrontal cortex activated during social interaction using immediate early gene expression analysis.
