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.

Genetic Influences on Receptive Joint Attention in Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

TL;DR: Results revealed that performance on the social cognition task was significantly heritable and males with one DupB+ allele performed significantly better and were more responsive to socio-communicative cues than males homozygous for the DupB- deletion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural distribution of nonapeptide binding sites in two species of songbird.
TL;DR: Radioligands, which were developed to label mammalian nonapeptide receptors, label at least one population of related receptors in songbirds, suggesting a heterogeneous population of more than one type of VT receptor.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the MC4R may be a viable therapeutic target for enhancing social function in psychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia, potentially through activation of the OT system.

Molecular cloning, pharmacological characterization, and histochemical distribution of frog vasotocin and mesotocin receptors

TL;DR: Data indicated that, although the distribution of VTR and MTR largely overlaps in the frog brain and pituitary, VT and MT may play distinct activities owing to the ligand selectivity and different signaling pathways activated by their receptors.

Oxytocin signaling in basolateral and central amygdala nuclei differentially regulates the acquisition, expression, and extinction of context-conditioned fear in rats.
Emma J. Campbell-Smith,Nathan M. Holmes,Nura W. Lingawi,Marios C. Panayi,R. Frederick Westbrook +4 more
TL;DR: Findings show that the involvement of the CeA and BLA in expression and extinction of context-conditioned fear is dissociable, and imply a critical role for oxytocin signaling in amygdala-based regulation of aversive learning.
