This study identifies vagal afferents expressing the oxytocin receptor that mediate mechanosensation of the heart and gut, leading to hypometabolism and vigilance in mice.

This study identifies Nav1 as a gene regulating learning, memory, and responses to addictive drugs through synaptic balance changes in the cortex and hippocampus.

This study shows that dendritic membrane resistance in oxytocinergic magnocellular neurons modulates activity-induced calcium influx, impacting central oxytocin release.
