Acute Restraint Stress Enhances Prosocial Behavior in Rats via Oxytocin and Fear-Related Circuits
Oxytocin modulates stress-induced alterations in monoaminergic activity within the mPFC, influencing social choice behavior. These findings provide new insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying stress-related sociability and the context-dependent role of oxytocin in fear memory and social behavior.
