Thank you so much, Ishmail! Really appreciated the mice and support you provided! Let’s keep in “touch”!

We also found that touch is a key sensory modality for mice to perceive social environment, with lack of touch sensation leading to the emergence of social need, and its presence providing social satiety. (5/7)

Via projections to oxytocin neurons, lateral habenula and arcuate nucleus, Isolation neurons coordinate the enhanced social drive, aversive emotion and inhibition of eating during short-term social isolation. The projections from Reunion neurons to VTA led to dopamine release during reunion. (4/7)

We further identified two molecularly defined interconnected neuronal populations in the hypothalamus, one activated by social isolation, the other by social reunion, together mediating a dynamic balance between “social need” and “social satiety” states. (3/7)

First, we characterized a "social rebound" behavior triggered by social isolation, which suggests a homeostatic regulation of social need. Intriguingly, different mouse strains showed distinct social rebound intensity after isolation, indicating a genetic basis for social need. (2/7)
