Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Xin et al.1 reveal how the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) orchestrates social dominance through subcortical pathways to the amygdala and brainstem. Using optogenetics and functional mapping, they identify opposing win- and lose-related circuits, uncovering a laminar organization driving competitive behavior in mice.
