Abstract Vasopressin–oxytocin (VP–OT) nonapeptides modulate numerous social and
stress-related behaviors, yet these peptides are made in multiple nuclei and brain regions …

Social attachments are ubiquitous among humans and integral to human health. Although
great efforts have been made to elucidate the neural underpinnings regulating social …

Abstract The Chinese tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri chinensis), a squirrel-like and rat-sized
mammal, has a wide distribution in Southeast Asia, South and Southwest China and has …

Since the discovery of ketamine anti-depressant effects in last decade, it has effectively
revitalized interest in investigating excitatory synapses hypothesis in the pathogenesis of …

Oxytocin (OT) and arginine‐vasopressin (AVP) are involved in the regulation of complex
social behaviors across a wide range of taxa. Despite this, little is known about the …

Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) play a major role in social behaviours. Mice have
become the species of choice for neurobiology of social behaviour due to identification of …

In cortical structures, principal cell activity is tightly regulated by different GABAergic
interneurons (INs). Among these INs are vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-expressing (VIP+) …

Acute administration of MK-801 (dizocilpine), an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)
antagonist, can establish animal models of psychiatric disorders. However, the roles of …

Early studies attempting to disentangle the network complexity of the brain exploited the
accessibility of sensory receptive fields to reveal circuits made up of synapses connected …

Vasopressin and oxytocin are primarily synthesized in the magnocellular supraoptic and
paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus and transported to the posterior pituitary. In the …
