Chemogenetic excitation of PVN oxytocin neurons (oxytocin-promoter hM3Dq plus C21) raised oxytocin receptor mRNA in the MeA of both B6 and BTBR mice, although c-fos mRNA in the MeA was not increased by this manipulation, indicating a neuromodulatory influence of the PVN oxytocin population on the MeA.
