Topic: mPFC pyramidal neurons

Social behavior is defined as any communication or interaction between two conspecifics of a given species encompassing various forms and contexts. Previous studies have shown that mice have social cognition that enables them to integrate, interpret, and respond to social signals and use these signals for the guidance of flexible and appropriate responses in different social contexts. One brain region with established involvement in social cognition is the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). However, the exact role of the mPFC in social decision-making in different contexts remains poorly defined
