- •
Syrian hamsters can recognize the social odors of a conspecific for 24 h.
- •
OT and AVP prolong the recognition of social odors to 48 h.
- •
OTR but not V1aR agonists enhance social recognition.
- •
OTR antagonists but not V1aR antagonists block social recognition.
- •
Our data provide the first evidence AVP can act on OTRs to influence behavior.
