Data identify specific brain areas that may be a part of a neural circuit that includes Avpr1b-expressing cells in the CA2 region of the hippocampus. It is thought that this circuit, when working properly, plays a role in how an animal evaluates its social context.
Title: Genotypic differences in intruder-evoked immediate early gene activation in male, but not female, vasopressin 1b receptor knockout mice.

Data show that cryptochrome Cry1 and Cry2 expression must be circadian and appropriately phased to support rhythms, and arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptor signaling is required to impose circuit-level circadian function.
Title: Rhythmic expression of cryptochrome induces the circadian clock of arrhythmic suprachiasmatic nuclei through arginine vasopressin signaling.

The data of this study indicate that the hippocampal CA2 is important for attacking in response to a male intruder and that the Avpr1b, likely through its role in regulating CA2 synaptic plasticity, is a necessary mediator

this study found that circadian rhythms of behavior (locomotor activity), clock gene expression, and body temperature immediately reentrained to phase-shifted light-dark cycles in mice lacking vasopressin receptors V1a and V1b (V1a(-/-)V1b(-/-)).

vasopressin V1b receptor is involved in the mediation of anxious behavior of animals but is not involved in the mechanism underlying the influence of negative psychoemotional state on Lewis lung carcinoma metastasis
