Light disrupts social memory via a retina-to-supraoptic nucleus circuit

Huang YF, Liao PY, Yu JH, Chen SK. · EMBO reports · 2023 · Mouse neural-circuit experiment

Original publication · Original publication · Original publication

Recorded summary

Acute light exposure impaired social-recognition memory through a retinal pathway that inhibited supraoptic oxytocin neurons. Experimental activation of these neurons altered the behavioural response.

Recorded limitations

Neural activity and behavioural changes are separate from OXTR gene expression. The animal circuit findings do not validate a human visual intervention.
