Exploring the nucleus accumbens circuit and oxytocin therapy in a Sapap3 knockout mouse model of trichotillomania
Abstract Trichotillomania (TTM), an understudied psychiatric disorder, was investigated using Sapap3 knockout (KO) mice to elucidate nucleus accumbens (NAc) circuit dysfunction and oxytocin’s therapeutic potential. Under aversive conditions, KO mice exhibited TTM-like behavioral phenotypes compared...
