Oxytocin-immunoreactive (OT-ir) tissue in isolate (ISO), social enriched (SE) and social control (SC) animals in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), supraoptic nucleus (SON), and medial forebrain bundle (MFB). In the PVN and SON areas, the SE animals had higher OT-ir measures than the ISO and SC groups (p < 0.05 for each area). No significant differences were observed in the MFB area. *Indicates significant difference from ISO and SC animals in comparable brain areas.
