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.

Direction of Amygdala–Neocortex Interaction During Dynamic Facial Expression Processing

TL;DR: Data suggest that emotional processing in the amygdala rapidly modulates some neocortical processing, such as perception, recognition, and motor mimicry, when observing dynamic facial expressions of emotion.

Impact of Childhood Adversity and Vasopressin receptor 1a Variation on Social Interaction in Adulthood: A Cross-Sectional Study.

TL;DR: Early-life stress influenced the relationship between AVPR1A genetic variants and social interaction, particularly those homozygous for the long alleles of AVPR 1A RS3, which made males vulnerable to childhood adversity for their social attachment in adulthood.

Neurone-specific expression and regulation of the pufferfish isotocin and vasotocin genes in transgenic mice.

TL;DR: The study shows that the Fugu isotocin and vasotocin genes express specifically in the mouse oxytocinergic and vasopressinergic neurones, respectively, and that the cis‐regulatory elements which mediate neurone‐specific expression are located within the short transgene constructs tested.

It's Not Just the Song: Male Visual Displays Enhance Female Sexual Responses to Song in Brown-Headed Cowbirds

TL;DR: In the Brown-headed Cowbird, females' sexual preferences for song as revealed by studies of copulation-solicitation displays have been shown to parallel males' mating success, so the results likely reflect an effect of visual displays on the mating success of wild males.
