AbstractHippocampal area CA2 has emerged as a functionally and molecularly distinct part of the hippocampus and is necessary for several types of social behavior, including social aggression. As part of the unique molecular profile of both mouse and human CA2, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR; Nr3c2) appears to play a critical role in controlling CA2 neuron cellular and synaptic properties.
