The neuropeptide oxytocin has attracted great attention of the general public, basic
neuroscience researchers, psychologists, and psychiatrists due to its profound pro-social …

The prosocial neuropeptide oxytocin is being developed as a potential treatment for various
neuropsychiatric disorders including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Early studies using …

Resilience–a key topic in clinical science and practice–still lacks a clear conceptualization
that integrates its evolutionary and human‐specific features, refrains from exclusive focus on …

Oxytocin (OT) release by axonal terminals onto the central nucleus of the amygdala exerts
anxiolysis. To investigate which subpopulation of OT neurons contributes to this effect, we …

Oxytocin (Oxt) neurons regulate diverse physiological responses via direct connections with
different neural circuits. However, the lack of comprehensive input-output wiring diagrams of …

Oxytocin neurones in the hypothalamus are activated by stressful stimuli and food intake.
The oxytocin receptor is located in various brain regions, including the sensory information …

Infant stimuli elicit widespread neural and behavioral response in human adults, and such
massive allocation of resources attests to the evolutionary significance of the primary …

Major life transitions often co-occur with significant fluctuations in hormones that modulate
the central nervous system. These hormones enact neuroplastic mechanisms that prepare …

Oxytocin (OT) is a neuropeptide hormone. Single and repetitive administration of OT
increases social interaction and maternal behaviour in humans and mammals. Recently, it …

Social buffering-the attenuation of stress by maternal safety signals-is a core mammalian-
general stress management mechanism implicating two ancient systems: the oxytocinergic …
