Sociability is an extremely complex behavior that requires the involvement and coordination of different brain areas. The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) plays a pivotal role in regulating various aspects of social behavior and can reach and modulate many regions of the central nervous system. However, the mechanisms through which it modulates neuronal activity are still unclear, also because this peptide can exert different effects depending on the brain area and on the neuronal type. In this work, we investigated and deepened the action of OT on a specific subpopulation of interneuro
