Skin-to-skin contact is widespread during social interactions and essential for establishing intimate relationships. To understand the skin-to-brain circuits underlying pleasurable touch, a new study has used mouse genetic tools to specifically target and study sensory neurons that transmit social touch and their role during sexual behavior in mice.
