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:

TL;DR: Galanin-expressing neurons in the medial preoptic area of the hypothalamus coordinate different aspects of motor, motivational, hormonal and social behaviour associated with parenting by projecting to different brain regions depending on the type of behaviour and sex and reproductive state of mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neural mechanisms and circuitry of the pair bond.
TL;DR: How neural representations of a partner become inherently rewarding, providing intriguing insights into the neural origins of love is discussed, in this Review.

Status-Dependent Vasotocin Modulation of Dominance and Subordination in the Weakly Electric Fish Gymnotus omarorum.
Rossana Perrone,Ana Silva +1 more
TL;DR: This study contributes a clear example of status-dependent AVT modulation of agonistic behavior in teleosts, and reveals distinctive activation patterns of the AVT system between dominants and subordinates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Differences in Autism Spectrum Disorder: a Review
TL;DR: Current findings and theories that contribute to male preponderance of neurodevelopmental disorders, with a focus on autism are reviewed, and the possibilities of female underdiagnosis and a multi-hit hypothesis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-talk among oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin receptors: Relevance for basic and clinical studies of the brain and periphery
Zhimin Song,H. Elliott Albers +1 more
TL;DR: The increasing body of evidence that exogenously administered and endogenously released OT and AVP can activate each other's canonical receptors is reviewed and the possibility that receptor cross-talk following the synaptic and non-synaptic release of OT andAVP contributes to their distinct roles in the brain and periphery is examined.

The use of multiple cues in mate choice
TL;DR: It is suggested that in contrast to this expectation, the use of multiple cues can reduce mate choice costs by decreasing the number of mates inspected more closely or the time and energy spent inspecting a set of mates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin improves "mind-reading" in humans.
TL;DR: Oxytocin improves the ability to infer the mental state of others from social cues of the eye region, and might play a role in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder, which is characterized by severe social impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin in the Medial Amygdala is Essential for Social Recognition in the Mouse
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that OT acts in the medial amygdala during the initial exposure to facilitate social recognition in the mouse, and OT given before, but not after, the initial encounter restores social Recognition in OT knock-out mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vasopressin and oxytocin release within the brain: a dynamic concept of multiple and variable modes of neuropeptide communication
Rainer Landgraf,Inga D. Neumann +1 more
TL;DR: This concept considers neuropeptides in the extracellular fluid of the brain rather than those in the cerebrospinal fluid or plasma as primary signals, triggering a variety of receptor-mediated effects, including those underlying behavioral and neuroendocrine regulation and psychopathology.

Oxytocin: the Great Facilitator of Life
TL;DR: Many, if not most, of Oxt's functions, from social interactions (affiliation, aggression) and sexual behavior to eventual parturition, lactation and maternal behavior, may be viewed as specifically facilitating species propagation.
