TL;DR: A relation between borderline traits and hypermentalizing that appears to be independent of internalizing and externalizing problems was demonstrated and Hypermentalizing, but not other forms of social-cognitive reasoning, was found to be malleable through a milieu-based inpatient treatment.

TL;DR: The aim of the present review is to bring together evidence from animal and human research concerning the role of oxytocin in postpartum depression, and to highlight areas that deserve further research in order to bring a fuller understanding of Oxytocin's therapeutic potential.

TL;DR: These findings provide further evidence of aberrant functioning for the United States Department of Health & Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Mental Health, Research Domain Criteria (RDoC)-defined domain of positive valence systems as a vulnerability factor for MDD and a potential endophenotype for the development of depression.

TL;DR: It is reported on a neurobiological study documenting that mothers’ attachment-related trauma, when unresolved, undermines her optimal brain response to her infant’s distress, and the blunting of the amygdala response in traumatized mothers is discussed as a neural indication of mothers' possible disengagement from infant distress.

TL;DR: The findings underscore the involvement of oxytocin in regulating the mother's responsive engagement with her infant, particularly in times when the infant's need for access to the mother is greatest.
