Maternal behavioral compensation after neonatal separation fails to prevent spinal circuit reprogramming in offspring

This study shows that maternal behavioral compensation after neonatal separation does not prevent spinal circuit reprogramming in rat offspring, leading to persistent pain sensitivity.

Neonatal oxytocin prevents sex-specific spatial memory deficits induced by maternal separation through restoration of hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males

This study shows that neonatal oxytocin prevents spatial memory deficits in male rats caused by maternal separation by restoring hippocampal synaptic plasticity and reducing neuro-inflammation.

Oxytocin receptor dysfunction during neurodevelopment programs lasting pain hypersensitivity and sex-specific cognitive deficits

This study shows that blocking the oxytocin receptor during early development in rats leads to pain hypersensitivity and sex-specific cognitive deficits similar to those caused by early life stress.

The non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic etifoxine limits the sensory-affective expression of pain following streptozotocin-induced diabetic neuropathy

This study evaluates the analgesic and neuroprotective effects of etifoxine in a mouse model of diabetic neuropathy, showing reduced mechanical hyperalgesia and anxiety.

Oxytocin Acts on Astrocytes in the Central Amygdala to Promote a Positive Emotional State

This study shows that oxytocin acts on astrocytes in the central amygdala to promote a positive emotional state, challenging the notion that oxytocin only affects neurons.
