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.

This study shows that OXTR signaling in lateral septum astrocytes regulates social fear in a sex-dependent manner in mice.

The paper shows that oxytocin-induced astrocyte process retraction in the amygdala modulates freezing behavior during stress by enhancing neuronal sensitivity to potassium.
