This study identifies a circuit in the medial prefrontal cortex where oxytocin modulates interneurons to promote social behavior in female rats, even under physiological stress.

The paper investigates how the primate anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) resolves the Cocktail Party Problem during natural vocal interactions in marmoset monkeys.

This study maps oxytocin neuron projections in marmoset brains, revealing extensive connections to social behavior-related regions, similar to rodent patterns.

This study identifies the supramammillary nucleus as a target of PVH oxytocin neurons and shows its necessity for social recognition memory in rats.

The paper investigates changes in the PVN-to-CA2 oxytocin pathway in heart failure rats, finding altered oxytocinergic innervation and reduced OTR-expressing astrocytes.

The paper identifies a novel analgesic pathway involving parvocellular oxytocin neurons projecting to the vlPAG, which suppresses spinal cord sensory neuron activity and alleviates pain.

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.
