TL;DR: It is shown that autistic-like symptoms are rescued on administration of AVP and OT to young Oxtr(-/-) adult animals and that intracerebral administration of both OT and AVP lowers aggression and fully reverts social and learning defects by acting on V1a receptors and that seizure susceptibility is antagonized by peripherally administered OT.

TL;DR: This work identifies a new population of OT neurons that modulates nociception in a two tier process: (1) directly by release of OT from axons onto sensory spinal cord neurons and inhibiting their activity and (2) indirectly by stimulating OT release from SON neurons into the periphery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assembling the Puzzle: Pathways of Oxytocin Signaling in the Brain.
Valery Grinevich,Valery Grinevich,H. Sophie Knobloch-Bollmann,H. Sophie Knobloch-Bollmann,Marina Eliava,Marina Eliava,Marta Busnelli,Bice Chini +7 more
TL;DR: The evolutionarily and ontogenetically determined pathways of OT delivery and OT signaling, which orchestrate activity of the mesolimbic social decision-making network, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic and Acute Intranasal Oxytocin Produce Divergent Social Effects in Mice
Huiping Huang,Caterina Michetti,Marta Busnelli,Francesca Managò,Sara Sannino,Diego Scheggia,Luca Giancardo,Diego Sona,Vittorio Murino,Bice Chini,Maria Luisa Scattoni,Francesco Papaleo +11 more
TL;DR: Chronic intranasal OXT treatment in wild-type C57BL/6J adult mice produced a selective reduction of social behaviors concomitant to a reduction of the OXT receptors throughout the brain, indicating that a prolonged over-stimulation of a ‘healthy’ oxytocinergic brain system results in specific detrimental effects in social behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Selective Oxytocin-derived Agonists Discriminate between Individual G Protein Family Subtypes
TL;DR: Both analogs inhibited cell proliferation, showing that a single Gi subtype-mediated pathway is sufficient to prompt this physiological response and open the way to the development of drugs with peculiar selectivity profiles.
