Abstract

Maldonado et al. uncover oxytocin's role in developing sensory cortices. In vivo, they show that oxytocin decreases the frequency and correlations of spontaneous activity patterns in V1 by specifically activating somatostatin⁺ interneurons. In S1, oxytocin increases both excitation and inhibition and does not affect spontaneous activity frequency.
