Our Lab’s five years of work is out! www.cell.com/cell-reports... 🥳 Vasopressin (AVP) excites BNST neurons via oxytocin receptor (and not V1aR or V1bR) 🔬AVP excites CRF-BNST and OTR-BNST neurons 🧠 AVP inputs from SCN and SON excite BNST via OTR 🐁 OTR-BNST neurons reduce anxious arousal in male rats

Vasopressin and oxytocin excite BNST neurons via oxytocin receptors, which reduce anxious arousal

AVP and OT regulate essential physiological functions. Francesconi and Olivera-Pasilio et al., demonstrate that AVP and OT inputs excite the BNST via OTR. The OTR-expressing BNST neurons reduce anxiou...

Interested in the adaptations of the maternal brain? If you missed them, check out our recent works on the Nucleus Accumbens and the role of neuropeptides in maternal behavior! 🐁🧠 And stay tuned, more is on the way 🙋‍♀️ 1) doi.org/10.1016/j.ne... 2) doi.org/10.1101/2024... @agmaternal.bsky.social

New open access paper out in Neuropharmacology! @alicesanson.bsky.social shares another piece of the puzzle about the role of the #CRF and #oxytocin systems in the nucleus accumbens shell (NacSh) in the postpartum period. You can read it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Long story about the nucleus accumbens in short: - Infusion of CRF, UCN3 or oxytocin antagonist in the shell impaired maternal aggression - Oxytocin release increased during maternal aggression 👇🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Pup defence in lactating rats: The underlying neuropeptide signalling and their interactions in the nucleus accumbens shell

Maternal aggression is a core feature of rodent maternal behaviour to defend their offspring from potential threats and is modulated by corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and oxytocin (OXT) systems ...
