This study shows that Magel2 deficiency in a mouse model of Prader-Willi syndrome causes microglial structural changes and increased synaptic engulfment, altering neuron-microglia interactions and hypothalamic circuit function.

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.
