DOI: 10.1007/7854_2015_406
Abstract: In this chapter, I describe 2 types of olfactory communication in rats, which appear to arouse anxiety and relief, respectively. In alarm pheromonal communication, rats release 4-methylpentanal and hexanal from their perianal region when they… read more here.

Abstract: Social buffering can provide protective effects on stress responses and their subsequent negative health outcomes. Although social buffering is beneficial for the recipient, it can also have anxiogenic effects on the provider of the social… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/bne0000462
Abstract: The developmental onset of aversive learning processes depends on complex interactions between endocrine, neural, and social influences. Emergence of avoidance conditioning in rat pups is triggered by elevated plasma corticosterone activating the amygdala. Further, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/scan/nsaa034
Abstract: Abstract Social relationships are a crucial determinant of both mental and physical health. This effect is partly due to social buffering of stress. Animal studies suggest that social buffering is mediated via the oxytocin system,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/scan/nsaa068
Abstract: Abstract The reduction of aversive emotions by a conspecific’s presence—called social buffering—is a universal phenomenon in the mammalian world and a powerful form of human social emotion regulation. Animal and human studies on neural pathways… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci11060759
Abstract: Ultrasonic vocalizations are among the oldest evolutionarily forms of animal communication. In order to study the communication patterns in an aversive social situation, we used a behavioral model in which one animal, the observer, is… read more here.

Role of Medial Prefrontal Cortical Neurons and Oxytocin Modulation in the Establishment of Social Buffering

DOI: 10.5607/en20038
Abstract: Fear-related behaviors are rigidly controlled by the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). The mPFC is activated by the prosocial hormone oxytocin, which plays an important role in social buffering. We used a slice patch current-clamp recording… read more here.
