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:

Evolutionary Origins of Transventricular Transmission of Hypothalamic Hormones and Neuromodulatory Substances
TL;DR: Liquor-contacting cells, immunoreactive to oxytocin, vasopressin, monoamines (dopamine, serotonin) and calbindin, were found in hypothalamic neurosecretory nuclei of turtles and are considered as sources of the nonsynaptic transventricular pathway responsible for the delivery of a broad variety of hormones and neuromodulators to different hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic brain structures.

A review on role of neuromodulators in autism spectrum disorder W ORLD J OURNAL OF C URRENT M EDICAL AND P HARMACEUTICAL R ESEARCH
TL;DR: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of complex neurodevelopmental disorders whose diagnosis is exclusively made on a behavioral basis as mentioned in this paper , which is defined by deficits in two main symptoms (social interaction & communication, and repetitive/restrictive behaviors), which emerge in premature phases of postnatal development.

Neurotransmitters and Hormones in Human Decision-Making
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make an approach to the understanding of the molecular genetics, how genes, neurotransmitters, hormones, receptors, and enzymes are interacting, benefiting, or affecting different types of decision-making.
Journal ArticleDOI
[As early as birth, oxytocin plays a key role in both food and social behavior].
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the dynamic process of postnatal development of the OT system as well as the OT functions in the perinatal period that are essential for shaping social behaviors and discuss the role of OT in the newborn, in integrating and adapting responses to early sensory stimuli and in stimulating suckling activity.

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.

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.
