Oxytocin neurons signal state-dependent transitions from rest to thermogenesis and behavioral arousal in social and non-social settings

Morgane Vandendoren, Jason G Landen, Joseph F Rogers, Samantha Killmer, Baizar Alamiri, Celeste Pohlman, Glenn J. Tattersall, Nicole L. Bedford, Adam C. Nelson

The paper shows PVNOT neurons drive transitions from rest to thermogenesis and behavioral arousal in both social and non-social contexts in mice.

Social hierarchy assays measure independent features of competitive ability

Ryan Pitesky, McKinzie Wade, Rachel Elizabeth Fanelli, Trevor Rasmuson, Adam C. Nelson, Nicole L. Bedford

This study assesses social hierarchy in mice using three assays, finding strain- and sex-specific differences in competitive ability that suggest specialized neural circuits for dominance.
