Social memory consists of two processes: the detection of familiar compared with novel
conspecifics and the detailed recollection of past social episodes. We investigated the …

The ability to recognize information that is incongruous with previous experience is critical
for survival. Novelty signals have therefore evolved in the mammalian brain to enhance …

The medial temporal lobe, including the hippocampus, has been implicated in social
memory. However, it remains unknown which parts of these brain regions and their circuits …

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 receptor (Oxtr) signaling in neural circuits mediating discrimination of social stimuli
and affiliation or avoidance behavior is thought to guide social recognition. Remarkably, the …

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 …

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 …
