Oxytocin and vasopressin neural networks: Implications for social behavioral diversity and translational neuroscience

TLDR
Both conserved and variable features of central oxytocin and vasopressin systems are described in the context of social behavioral diversity, with a particular focus on neural networks that modulate social learning, behavior, and salience of sociosensory stimuli during species‐typical social contexts.

Evolutionary diversity as a catalyst for biological discovery.

TL;DR: It is argued that the greatest strides in discovering mechanisms contributing to social behavioral diversity will be achieved through integration of interdisciplinary comparative approaches with modern tools in diverse species systems.

Central and peripheral roles of vasopressin in the circadian defense of body hydration.

TL;DR: Recent cellular and network level studies in rodents that have provided insight into how circadian rhythms in vasopressin mediate changes in water intake behavior and renal water conservation that protect the body against dehydration during sleep are reviewed.

Prosociality, social tolerance and partner choice facilitate mutually beneficial cooperation in common marmosets, Callithrix jacchus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined intraspecific variation in prosociality and cooperative behaviour within a captive colony of group-living, cooperatively breeding common marmosets to provide a direct experimental test of these hypothesized benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Biology of Vasopressin

TL;DR: Vasopressins are evolutionarily conserved peptide hormones as mentioned in this paper, which act as an antidiuretic and regulator of blood and cardiac flow essential for adapting to terrestrial environments.

The Oxytocin Receptor System: Structure, Function, and Regulation

TL;DR: The regulation by gonadal and adrenal steroids is one of the most remarkable features of the OT system and is, unfortunately, the least understood.

Meta-analytic evidence for common and distinct neural networks associated with directly experienced pain and empathy for pain

TL;DR: It is concluded that social neuroscience paradigms provide reliable and accurate insights into complex social phenomena such as empathy and that meta-analyses of previous studies are a valuable tool in this endeavor.

The social behaviour of anuran amphibians

TL;DR: Temporal patterns of anuran reproduction fall into two broad categories: prolonged breeding and explosive breeding, and many aspects of vocal behaviour and chorus organization can be viewed as consequences of intrasexual competition.

Oxytocin Modulates Neural Circuitry for Social Cognition and Fear in Humans

TL;DR: It is shown that human amygdala function is strongly modulated by oxytocin, and this results indicate a neural mechanism for the effects of Oxytocin in social cognition in the human brain and provide a methodology and rationale for exploring therapeutic strategies in disorders in which abnormal amygdala function has been implicated, such as social phobia or autism.

Oxytocin, vasopressin, and the neurogenetics of sociality.

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.
