Salivary oxytocin concentrations in response to running, sexual self-stimulation, breastfeeding and the TSST: The Regensburg Oxytocin Challenge (ROC) study

TL;DR: The Regensburg Oxytocin Challenge (ROC) test reliably assess the responsiveness of the OXT system to challenges such as "Run" and "Sex" at home or psychosocial stress (TSST) in the laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxytocin Signaling in the Lateral Septum Prevents Social Fear during Lactation

TL;DR: This work investigates the capacity of brain OXT receptor (OXTR) signaling in the lateral septum (LS) to prevent social fear expression in female mice using the social-fear-conditioning paradigm, and shows that lactating mice did not express fear 24 hr after social fear conditioning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxytocin Stimulates Extracellular Ca 2+ Influx Through TRPV2 Channels in Hypothalamic Neurons to Exert Its Anxiolytic Effects

TL;DR: Functional and pharmacological analyses identified TRPV2 as a mediator of anxiolytic effects of OXT, conveying the OXT signal to MEK1/2 via modulation of intracellular Ca2+.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropeptide S Activates Paraventricular Oxytocin Neurons to Induce Anxiolysis.

TL;DR: The results indicate a significant role of the OXT system in mediating the effects of NPS on anxiety, and fill an important gap in the understanding of brain neuropeptide interactions in the context of regulation of emotional behavior within the hypothalamus.
