Journal ArticleDOI

Pervasive social deficits, but normal parturition, in oxytocin receptor-deficient mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that OXTR plays a critical role in regulating several aspects of social behavior and may have important implications for developmental psychiatric disorders characterized by deficits in social behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence That Oxytocin Exerts Anxiolytic Effects via Oxytocin Receptor Expressed in Serotonergic Neurons in Mice

TL;DR: This is the first demonstration that oxytocin may regulate serotonin release and exert anxiolytic effects via direct activation of Oxytocin receptor expressed in serotonergic neurons of the raphe nuclei.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxytocin receptor-deficient mice developed late-onset obesity.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that oxytocin receptor plays essential roles in the regulation of energy homeostasis with late-onset obesity with increases in abdominal fat pads and fasting plasma triglycerides in Oxtr−/− mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

An intrinsic vasopressin system in the olfactory bulb is involved in social recognition.

TL;DR: It is reported that the rat olfactory bulb contains a large population of interneurons which express vasopressin, that blocking the actions of vasoppressin in the ofactory bulb impairs the social recognition abilities of rats and that vasopgressin agonists and antagonists can modulate the processing of information by olactory bulb neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roles of Oxytocin Neurones in the Control of Stress, Energy Metabolism, and Social Behaviour

TL;DR: The oxytocin–oxytocin receptor system is a therapeutic target for the promotion of human health and shows anxiolytic, anorexic and pro‐social actions.
