This study shows that C-LTMRs in mice influence social behavior and affective touch, with their dysfunction leading to social isolation and increased excitability promoting pro-social interactions.

This study shows that restoring vasopressin-oxytocin interaction in the lateral septum of Magel2 knockout mice reduces social withdrawal behavior.
