OXT neuron-specific CAPS2 deficiency in mice impairs hippocampal plasticity and long-term memory through reduced ERK phosphorylation in the ventral hippocampus
2025-12-05
Abstract excerpt
Oxytocin (OXT), a neuropeptide produced in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, regulates social behavior, stress responses, and memory. Our previous studies demonstrated that intracerebroventricular administration of OXT ameliorates amyloid-β–induced cognitive deficits and that selective activation of PVN OXT neurons enhances memory performance. These findings suggest that endogenous OXT secreti...
