Oxytocin Discrepancies in Social Dynamics

Neuron. 2020 Aug 19;107(4):591-593. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2020.07.027.

Abstract

Social group dynamics are highly complex. In this issue of Neuron, Anpilov et al. use a novel wireless optogenetic device to demonstrate that the repeated stimulation of oxytocin neurons modulates pro-social and agonistic behaviors in a time- and context-dependent manner.
