Highly structured, partner-sex- and subject-sex-dependent cortical responses during social facial touch
Touch is an important sensory modality during social encounters. Here the authors report that during naturalistic social encounters in rats, the cortical activity in widespread areas at the level of single neurons is modulated by sociosexual characteristics such as the subject and partner sex.
