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.

Olfactory Communication in a Cichlid Fish, Haplochromis burtoni
TL;DR: Part I: The responses of adult male Haplochromis burtoni to chemical stimuli produced by conspecifics in a reproductive state are tested and some aspects of the relative importance of visual and chemical cues from gravid ♀♀ on the reproductive behavior of Conspecific male Hapleroni are analysed.

Oxytocin modulates fMRI responses to facial expression in macaques

TL;DR: In monkeys, OT selectively altered brain activity within multiple neural systems and functional coupling between the amygdala and areas in the ventral visual pathway evoked by negative emotional expressions and this results indicate homologies between monkeys and humans in the neural circuits mediating the effects of OT.

The importance of the basolateral/basomedial amygdala for goal-directed maternal responses in postpartum rats

TL;DR: The results show that neuron-specific inactivation of BLA/BMA causes severe deficits in what can be considered a goal-directed and appetitive maternal response, pup retrieval, while leaving the consummatory aspect of maternal behavior, nursing, relatively unaffected.

Distress of ostracism: Oxytocin receptor gene polymorphism confers sensitivity to social exclusion
TL;DR: The current investigation demonstrated that relative to individuals with AA genotype, G carriers were more emotionally sensitive in response to social ostracism promoted through an on-line ball tossing game (Cyberball).

Neural systems and hormones mediating attraction to infant and child faces
TL;DR: A very extensive neural circuitry involved in the perception of cuteness in infant faces is revealed, with enhanced activation compared to adult faces being found in brain regions involved in face perception, attention, emotion, empathy, memory, reward and attachment, theory of mind and also control of motor responses.
