Journal ArticleDOI
The Oxytocin Receptor: From Intracellular Signaling to Behavior
Benjamin Jurek,Inga D. Neumann +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanisms of OXT expression and release, expression and binding of the OXTR in brain and periphery, OX TR-coupled signaling cascades, and their involvement in behavioral outcomes are discussed to assemble a comprehensive picture of the central and peripheral OXT system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin Pathways and the Evolution of Human Behavior
TL;DR: Oxytocin dynamically moderates the autonomic nervous system, and effects of oxytocin on vagal pathways, as well as the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of this peptide, help to explain the pervasive adaptive consequences of social behavior for emotional and physical health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The biology of mammalian parenting and its effect on offspring social development
James K. Rilling,Larry J. Young +1 more
TL;DR: The biological mechanisms governing this shift in parental motivation in mammals, where giving birth leads from an aversion to infant stimuli to irresistible attraction is reviewed, are reviewed.

Oxytocin and Vasopressin Agonists and Antagonists as Research Tools and Potential Therapeutics
Maurice Manning,Aleksandra Misicka,Aleksandra Misicka,Aleksandra Olma,Aleksandra Olma,K. Bankowski,Stoytcho Stoev,Bice Chini,Thierry Durroux,Bernard Mouillac,Maithé Corbani,Gilles Guillon +11 more
TL;DR: The status of peptide and non-peptide agonists and antagonists for the V1a, V1b and V2 receptors for arginine vasopressin (AVP) and the O2 receptor for oxytocin (OT) was reviewed in this paper.

Hypothalamic Oxytocin Mediates Social Buffering of the Stress Response
Adam S. Smith,Zuoxin Wang +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that paraventricular nucleus oxytocin mediates the social buffering effects on the stress response and thus may be a target for treatment of stress-related disorders.

The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates
George Paxinos,Charles Watson +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the determinants of earthquake-triggered landsliding in the Czech Republic over a period of 18 months in order to establish a probabilistic framework for estimating the intensity of the earthquake.

Rates and risk of postpartum depression—a meta-analysis
Michael W. O'Hara,Annette Swain +1 more
TL;DR: The average prevalence rate of non-psychotic postpartum depression based on the results of a large number of studies is 13% as discussed by the authors, and the average prevalence estimates are affected by the nature of the assessment method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin, vasopressin, and the neurogenetics of sociality.
Zoe R. Donaldson,Larry J. Young +1 more
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that the neuropeptides oxytocin and vasopressin modulate complex social behavior and social cognition and suggest that variation in the genes encoding their receptors may contribute to variation in human social behavior by altering brain function.

Maternal care during infancy regulates the development of neural systems mediating the expression of fearfulness in the rat
Christian Caldji,Beth Tannenbaum,Shakti Sharma,Darlene D. Francis,Paul M. Plotsky,Michael J. Meaney +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal care during infancy serves to "program" behavioral responses to stress in the offspring by altering the development of the neural systems that mediate fearfulness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neurobiology of pair bonding
Larry J. Young,Zuoxin Wang +1 more
TL;DR: Differential regulation of neuropeptide receptor expression may explain species differences in the ability to form pair bonds and have intriguing implications for the neurobiology of social attachment in the authors' own species.
