Oxytocin, vasopressin, and social behavior: from neural circuits to clinical opportunities
Oxytocin and vasopressin are peptide hormones secreted from the pituitary that are well
known for their peripheral endocrine effects on childbirth/nursing and blood pressure/urine …

Rediscovering area CA2: unique properties and functions
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 …

A hippocampal circuit linking dorsal CA2 to ventral CA1 critical for social memory dynamics
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 …

Role of the vasopressin 1b receptor in rodent aggressive behavior and synaptic plasticity in hippocampal area CA2
The vasopressin 1b receptor (Avpr1b) is critical for social memory and social aggression in
rodents, yet little is known about its specific roles in these behaviors. Some clues to Avpr1b …
