*Represents that both experimental and control groups have a significant difference between the investigation time of the novel object and the familiar object, indicating the intact object recognition memory. Ns means that experimental groups have no difference between the investigation of the novel object and the familiar object while the object recognition memory in the control groups remained unaffected, indicating the impaired object recognition memory. PVIs: Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons; Oxytocin receptors: OXTRs; Vasopressin 1a receptors: VAPRs.
