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.

Functional circuit architecture underlying parental behaviour.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cross-talk among oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin receptors: Relevance for basic and clinical studies of the brain and periphery

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.

Computer-Aided Mapping of Vasopressin Neurons in the Hypothalamus of the Male Golden Hamster: Evidence of Magnocellular Neurons that do not Project to the Neurohypophysis.

TL;DR: Mapping and counting the vasopressin‐immunoreactive neurons that contribute to the hypothalamo‐neurohypophysial system, and those that do not, are counted to examine the potential sources of this innervation.

Intranasal Oxytocin Affects Amygdala Functional Connectivity after Trauma Script-Driven Imagery in Distressed Recently Trauma-Exposed Individuals.

TL;DR: The findings show that oxytocin administration may impede emotion regulation network functioning in response to trauma reminders in recently trauma-exposed individuals, and caution may be warranted in administering oxytocIn to prevent PTSD in distressed, recently trauma theses individuals.

Variation in the oxytocin receptor gene is associated with behavioral and neural correlates of empathic accuracy

TL;DR: The results show that genetic variation in the OXTR has significant influence on empathic accuracy and that this may be linked to variable responsivity of the STS.

Oxytocin and vasopressin enhance responsiveness to infant stimuli in adult marmosets.

TL;DR: This study is the first to demonstrate that Pro(8)-OT and AVP alter responsiveness to infant stimuli in a biparental New World monkey.

Female alternative mating tactics, reproductive success and nonapeptide receptor expression in the social decision-making network.

TL;DR: The data support the hypothesis that neural phenotype for neuromodulatory nonapeptide receptors within the SDM relates to natural behavior associated with reproductive decisions, particularly those serving as the interface between the social behavior network and the reward system.
