An amygdala-to-hypothalamus circuit for social reward

Social interactions and relationships are often rewarding, but the neural mechanisms through which social interaction drives

positive experience remain poorly understood. In this study, we developed an automated operant conditioning system to measure social reward in mice and found that adult mice of both sexes display robust reinforcement of social interaction. Through

cell-type-specific manipulations, we identified a crucial role for GABAergic neurons in the medial amygdala (MeA) in promoting the positive reinforcement of social interaction. Moreover, MeA GABAergic neurons mediate social reinforcement behavior

through their projections to the medial preoptic area (MPOA) and promote dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens. Finally,

activation of this MeA-to-MPOA circuit can robustly overcome avoidance behavior. Together, these findings establish the MeA

as a key node for regulating social reward in both sexes, providing new insights into the regulation of social reward beyond the

classic mesolimbic reward system.
