Oxytocin regulates parturition, lactation, parental nurturing, and many other social behaviors
in both sexes. The circuit mechanisms by which oxytocin modulates social behavior are …

The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has garnered interest recently as a powerful
model for the future of neuroscience research. Much of this excitement has centered on the …

Recent results suggest that social memory requires the dorsal hippocampal CA2 region as
well as a subset of ventral CA1 neurons. However, it is unclear whether dorsal CA2 and …

Although the hippocampus is known to be important for declarative memory, it is less clear
how hippocampal output regulates motivated behaviours, such as social aggression. Here …

Oxytocin is a neuropeptide important for social behaviors such as maternal care and parent–
infant bonding. It is believed that oxytocin receptor signaling in the brain is critical for these …

Hippocampal area CA2 has several features that distinguish it from CA1 and CA3, including
a unique gene expression profile, failure to display long-term potentiation and relative …

Social homeostasis is the ability of individuals to detect the quantity and quality of social
contact, compare it to an established set-point in a command center, and adjust the effort …

The hippocampal CA2 subregion has a different anatomical connectivity pattern within the
entorhino-hippocampal circuit than either the CA1 or CA3 subregion. Yet major differences …

Long-term potentiation of excitatory synapses on pyramidal neurons in the stratum radiatum
rarely occurs in hippocampal area CA2. Here, we present evidence that perineuronal nets …

Synaptic plasticity serves as a cellular substrate for information storage in the central
nervous system. The entorhinal cortex (EC) and hippocampus are interconnected brain …
