Prosocial and affiliative behaviors depend on intricate neuroendocrine neuronal circuits. Dynamic neuroglial interactions play pivotal roles in shaping synaptic networks, whose alterations are known to contribute to psychiatric disorders linked to social deficits. Yet the involvement of astrocytes in regulating maternal behavior remains unclear. In this study, we used a pup sensitization model with virgin pup naïve female adult mice, to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying maternal behavior in the supraoptic nucleus. We assessed oxytocin-level in the extracellular fluid through in v
