A Brain-Wide Atlas of Astrocytic Oxytocin Receptors Reveals a Glial Basis for Nucleus Accumbens Modulation of Affiliative Behavior
Abstract Until recently, it was widely assumed that oxytocin signaling occurred exclusively through the activation of neuronal oxytocin receptors, with neurons being the primary targets of released oxytocin. However, this view was challenged by the discovery of functional oxytocin receptors in…
