The many facets of the oxytocin (OXT) system of the brain and periphery elicited nearly
25,000 publications since 1930 (see, as listed in PubMed), which revealed central roles for …

Cortical networks are composed of glutamatergic excitatory projection neurons and local
GABAergic inhibitory interneurons that gate signal flow and sculpt network dynamics …

Oxytocin (OT), a peptide hormone and neuromodulator, is involved in diverse physiological
and pathophysiological processes in the central nervous system and the periphery …

Oxytocin has garnered considerable interest for its role in social behavior, as well as for the

Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and released into the circulation through the
neurohypophyseal system. Peripherally released oxytocin facilitates parturition and milk …

As exemplified particularly with vasopressin and oxytocin, release of neuropeptides within
the brain occurs from dendrites, somata, and axons of neurosecretory neurons; mechanisms …

during the first decade of the 20th century, and research in animal models beginning in the …

Neuropeptides that are released from dendrites, such as oxytocin and vasopressin, function
as autocrine or paracrine signals at their site of origin, but can also act at distant brain …
