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.

Functional interactions of dopamine cell groups reflect personality, sex, and social context in highly social finches
Aubrey M. Kelly,James L. Goodson +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that personality and sex are reflected in DA neuron activity and coordinated patterns of neuromodulation arising from multiple DA cell groups and that behavioral PCs are associated with unique suites of neural PCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Untypical connectivity from olfactory sensory neurons expressing OR37 into higher brain centers visualized by genetic tracing.
TL;DR: Transgenic mice studied in which olfactory sensory neurons co-express the receptor subtype OR37C and the transsynaptic tracer wheat germ agglutinin revealed that the WGA immunoreactivity was restricted to the posterior-dorsal subnucleus of the medial amygdala.

Oxytocin suppresses the GABAergic synaptic input in supraoptic neurones from the rat
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of oxytocin on the GABAergic synaptic input in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) was analyzed, and it was shown that the effect on the amplitude of the IPSCs in 73% of the recordings was completely reversed by washing, completely blocked by a specific OCR antagonist, and observed in slices from both female and from male animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a natural source for the OR37B ligand
TL;DR: Exposure of mice to anal gland secretion from dog activated the OR37B glomerulus, and data suggest that hexadecanal, a ligand for the receptor Or37B, is produced in anal glands and deposited with feces into the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association testing of vasopressin receptor 1a microsatellite polymorphisms in non-clinical autism spectrum phenotypes.
TL;DR: The results suggest that vasopressin may exert its effects on social behaviour in part by modulating attentional focus between social and non‐social cues.
