文摘
- •
Social interaction between adult male Syrian hamsters reduces a place avoidance.
- •
Inhibition of oxytocin receptors (OTR) in the VTA enhances a place avoidance.
- •
Both oxytocin and AVP can activate OTRs in the VTA to reduce a place avoidance.
- •
Activation and inhibition of AVP V1aRs in the VTA do not alter place preference/avoidance.
