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.

A neuronal signature for monogamous reunion

TL;DR: It is posited that the features of the partner approach ensemble and its expansion upon bond formation make it a potential key substrate underlying bond formation and maturation.

Preoptic Area Activation and Vasotocin Involvement in the Reproductive Behavior of a Weakly Pulse-Type Electric Fish, Brachyhypopomus gauderio.

TL;DR: Testing if POA neurons of the nucleus preopticus ventricularis anterior (PPa) and posterior (PPp), and in particular AVT+ cells, were activated by social stimuli using a 2-day behavioral protocol concluded that the POA of B. gauderio exhibits changes induced by social stimulus in reproductive context, involving an increase in AVT production and a different profile activation among AVT- cell populations.

Oxytocin, vasopressin, and primate behavior: Diversity and insight.

TL;DR: The articles presented here contribute to a greater understanding on the role of oxytocin and vasopressin in primate physiology and behavior and help to further advance the application of this knowledge to human biology.

Fish as a model in social neuroscience: conservation and diversity in the social brain network

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the foundations underlying fish social behaviours including sensory, hormonal, molecular and neuroanatomical features. But, the authors do not discuss the role of vasotocin and isotocin in the development of the SBN.

Development of a radioligand for imaging V1a vasopressin receptors with PET.

TL;DR: The common animal anesthetic Propofol significantly blocked the brain uptake of [11CH3](1S,5R)-1 in the mouse brain, whereas anesthetics Ketamine and Saffan increased the uptake variability.

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.
