- Description
Through multiple experiments, this study demonstrated that oxytocin induces diapause, a temporary developmental delay, in pre-implantation mouse embryos to help ensure their survival. To assess whether oxytocin receptor (OXTR) signaling might influence this gestational delay, heterozygous (OXTR+/−) dams which retain sufficient OXTR function for apparently normal parturition and nursing, were bred....

- Description
Aggression is an innate social behaviour that is essential for defending territory, competing for resources, and securing mates. This study demonstrated that dopaminergic cells in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) can bidirectionally modulate aggression in male mice in an experience-dependent manner. To investigate the role of experience-dependent dopamine modulation on aggression, they tested the effect...

Cingulate Cortex Facilitates Auditory Perception Under Challenging Listening Conditions

- Description
Previous human studies suggest that the cingulate cortex is engaged under difficult listening conditions and may exert top-down modulation of the auditory cortex. Therefore, this study investigated whether the jird cingulate cortex sends anatomical projections to the auditory cortex that facilitate perceptual performance. To model challenging listening conditions, a sound discrimination task was used...
