2/6: In January 2025 we launched this new Institute (depressioninstitute.uci.edu), with the vision to transform our understanding of depression’s origins, treatment, and prevention, while enhancing societal-well being.

What has changed in mama bear brain (well, actually mice) to make her risk her life to attack a potential threat and protect her young? Oxytocin is the key! Happy to share our new study led by two awesome postdocs: Takashi Yamaguchi and Rongzhen Yan. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The neural mechanisms supporting the rise and fall of maternal aggression - Nature

In mice, female aggression is governed by an amygdala–to–medial hypothalamus circuit that is strengthened during pregnancy and is dynamically amplified by oxytocin during lactation.
