Indispensable role of the oxytocin receptor for allogrooming toward socially distressed cage mates in female mice

Mice showed allogrooming behaviour towards distressed conspecifics in a social defeat model. Allogrooming behaviour was correlated with activation of oxytocin receptor-expressing neurones in the anterior olfactory nucleus, insular cortex, lateral septum and medial amygdala. Oxytocin receptor-deficient females, but not males, showed impairment of allogrooming behaviour, indicating a sexual difference in neural mechanisms of allogrooming.
