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.About:

Oxytocin Signaling in the Medial Amygdala is required for Sex Discrimination of Social Cues
TL;DR: The critical role of oxytocin signaling is uncovered in a molecularly defined neuronal population in order to modulate the behavioral and physiological responses of male mice to females on a moment-to-moment basis.

Efficiency of cell-type specific and generic promoters in transducing oxytocin neurons and monitoring their neural activity during lactation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the efficiency of various adeno-associated viral vectors in these cell populations and demonstrated that none of the widely used promoters were, on their own, effective at driving expression of a down-stream fluorescent protein in OXT or AVP neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of activity-dependent vasopressin release from neuronal dendrites and axon terminals using sniffer cells.
TL;DR: C cultured "sniffer cells" can be engineered to detect endogenous release of vasopressin as an increase in fluorescence, and this results indicate that sniffer cells can be used for the study of VP secretion from various compartments of neurons in living tissue.

CAPS2 Deficiency Impairs the Release of the Social Peptide Oxytocin, as Well as Oxytocin-Associated Social Behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the neuropeptide oxytocin in enhancing social interaction and social bonding behavior has attracted considerable public and neuroscientific attention, and a central issue in the understanding of oxytocIN-dependent social behavior from the perspective of the CAPS2-regulated release mechanism is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropeptides as regulators of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis activity and their putative roles in stress-induced fertility disorders
TL;DR: A review of the available data on how neuropeptides affect HPG axis activity directly or indirectly via their influence on the HPA axis is presented in this article , which suggests new pathophysiological mechanisms leading to fertility disturbances that are induced by stress.

The Oxytocin Receptor System: Structure, Function, and Regulation
Gerald Gimpl,Falk Fahrenholz +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
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.
