Regulating Male Mouse Social Interactions

Caption

This visual abstract depicts the findings of Soden et al., who characterize a population of neurons in the ventral premammillary nucleus of the hypothalamus that are genetically defined as dopaminergic but that do not release detectable dopamine. These neurons are activated in specific social contexts and function via glutamate release to regulate male same sex social interactions.
