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:

Brain functional connectivity modulates social bonding in monogamous voles
López-Gutiérrez Mf,Zeus Gracia-Tabuenca,Juan J. Ortiz,Francisco J. Camacho,Larry J. Young,Raúl G. Paredes,Néstor F. Díaz,Wendy Portillo,Sarael Alcauter +8 more
TL;DR: Resting state magnetic resonance imaging revealed the association between network-level changes and social bonding in Microtus ochrogaster, the prairie vole, and baseline functional connectivity of three sub-networks predicted the onset of affiliative behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of housing conditions on social behavior, neuroimmune markers, and oxytocin receptor expression in aged male and female Fischer 344 rats.
TL;DR: Data indicate that manipulations of the social environment in late aging significantly influenced social interactions with a novel partner and gene expression in social behavior circuits and that these effects are sex-specific.

Behavioral, Neural, and Molecular Mechanisms of Conditioned Mate Preference: The Role of Opioids and First Experiences of Sexual Reward
TL;DR: From a comprehensive review of the available data, it is concluded that opioid transmission at μ opioid receptors forms the basis of sexual pleasure and reward, which then sensitizes dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin systems responsible for attention, arousal, and bonding, leading to cortical activation that creates awareness of attraction and desire.

Enhanced endogenous oxytocin signaling in the brain modulates neural responses to social misalignment and promotes conformity in humans: A multi-locus genetic profile approach
TL;DR: For instance, this article used the genotype-tissue expression database (GTEx) to create a multi-locus genetic profile score (MPS) that reflects the level of OXTR expression in the human brain.

Pair-bonding, mating systems and hormones
TL;DR: The observation that testis size predicting mating systems triggered the idea that testosterone, the main sex steroid of the testis, may be a proximate factor involved in the regulation of mating systems.

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.

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.
