Tamás Láng, Botond Bendeguz Drahos, Fanni Dóra, David W. Keller, Ingrid Csordas, Vivien Szendi, Gina Puska, Valery Grinevich, Árpád Dobolyi

The paper identifies a thalamic-hypothalamic circuit mediating social touch suppression of aggression in rodents using chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulations.

A thalamo-preoptic pathway promoting social touch

David W. Keller, Tamás Láng, Melinda Cservenák, Gina Puska, János Barna, Veronika Csillag, Imre Farkas, Dóra Zelena, Fanni Dóra, Stephanie Küppers, Lara Barteczko, Ted Björn Usdin, Miklós Palkovits, Mazahir T. Hasan, Valery Grinevich, Árpád Dobolyi

The paper identifies a thalamo-preoptic pathway that controls social touch by bypassing the cerebral cortex, involving PTH2-expressing neurons and a conserved circuit across species.
