Description: Oxytocin, a hormone released by the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), enables neuroplasticity in the auditory cortex for maternal recognition of pup distress. This study continuously monitored the behavior of female virgin mice co-housed with an experienced mother and litter. To examine the behavioral events and neural activity patterns that lead to maternal behavior in virgin female mice,...

Description: This study examined to what extent parental animals are intrinsically sensitive to neonatal vocalizations, or instead learn about vocal cues for parenting responses. In mice, naive virgins do not recognize the meaning of pup distress calls, but retrieve isolated pups to the nest following cohousing with a mother and litter. For this study, C57BL/6J virgin females were used in all experiments. The dataset...

Description: This study described robust oxytocinergic modulation of intrinsic properties and circuit operations in hippocampal area CA2. For this study, male mice were used for all experiments to avoid variation in oxytocin receptor (OXTR) expression throughout the estrous cycle of female mice. C57BL/6 mice were used in wild-type experiments, while homozygous Oxt-IRES-Cre and hemizygote Amigo2-Cre mice were used...

Description: Oxytocin is a neuropeptide released in the central nervous system, which is involved in a wide range of behaviors including reproduction, parental care, and pair bonding. In addition, peripheral oxytocin is important for milk ejection during nursing and uterine contractions during labor. Oxytocin is produced mainly in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. This...

Description: Fighting is a major means to compete for limited resources in the wild. After the fight ends, the loser continuously avoids close interaction with the winner and readily flees when confronted. The neural mechanisms that underlie the rapid and long-lasting behavioral changes induced by defeat remains unclear. This study identified oxytocin neurons in the retrochiasmatic supraoptic nucleus and oxytocin-receptor-expressing...

Description: This study examined the interaction of acetylcholine (ACh) and oxytocin (OXT) at slow and fast timescales during various brain states. They used simultaneous fiber-photometric measurements of ACh and OXT variations in the hippocampus using G-protein-coupled receptor activation-based Ach and OXT sensors. These optical measurements were compared with sleep-wake changes and characteristic brain-state-dependent...
