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:

Cellular profiling of a recently-evolved social behavior

TL;DR: An unexpected role for glia and neurogenesis in the evolution of social behavior is supported, and how snRNA-seq can be used to systematically profile the cellular bases of previously unstudied social behaviors in new species systems is shown.

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.

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.
