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.

Oxytocin Involvement in Body Composition Unveils the True Identity of Oxytocin

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the three most recent theories on the effects of Oxt on body composition and found that Oxt may increase skeletal muscle tonicity and/or increases body temperature.

Vasotocinergic control of agonistic behavior told by Neotropical fishes

TL;DR: This review will revise recent data on the two model systems of Neotropical fish, South American cichlids and weakly electric fish that have contributed to the study of the neuroendocrine bases of social behavior.

Neuroimaging Markers of Risk and Pathways to Resilience in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

TL;DR: The current literature suggests that neuroimaging during early infancy, in combination with prebirth and early genetic studies, is a promising tool for identifying biomarkers of risk, while studies of gene expression and DNA methylation have provided some key insights into mechanisms of resilience.

A Systematic Review of Genomic Regions and Candidate Genes Underlying Behavioral Traits in Farmed Mammals and Their Link with Human Disorders

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review of genomic regions associated with various behavioral traits in the main farmed mammals and identify key candidate genes and potential causal mutations by contrasting the frequency of polymorphisms in cattle breeds with divergent behavioral traits (based on a subjective clustering approach).
Journal ArticleDOI

Emotional remodeling with oxytocin durably rescues trauma-induced behavioral and neuro-morphological changes in rats: a promising treatment for PTSD

TL;DR: These findings emphasize the translational potential of the present oxytocin-based emotional remodeling protocol which, when administered even long after the trauma, produces deep re-processing of traumatic memories and durable attenuation of the PTSD symptomatology.

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.
