TL;DR: A novel mechanism of specific interaction between the OT and 5-HT neurotransmitters via OTR-5HTR2A heteroreceptor formation is presented to provide potential new therapeutic strategies in the treatment of social and cognition-related diseases.

Oxytocin and vasopressin: Signalling, behavioural modulation and potential therapeutic effects
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors shed light on the complexity of the roles of OT and AVP by focusing on their signalling and behavioural differences, and explored the crosstalk between the receptor systems.

A functional MRI study on how oxytocin affects decision making in social dilemmas: Cooperate as long as it pays off, aggress only when you think you can win
TL;DR: Results indicate that, compared to placebo, OT significantly increases the activation of the nucleus accumbens during an assurance (coordination) game that rewards mutual cooperation, which increases appetitive motivation so that cooperative behaviour is facilitated for risk averse individuals.

Perception of social interaction compresses subjective duration in an oxytocin-dependent manner
TL;DR: The findings indicate that perceived time, rather than being a faithful representation of physical time, is highly idiosyncratic and ingrained with one’s personality trait, and suggest that oxytocin is involved in mediating time perception of social interaction, further supporting the role of Oxytocin in human social cognition.

Oxytocin: Coevolution of human and domesticated animals
TL;DR: The role of OT is focused on in the orchestration of distinct forms of social behavior, including the monogamous bond, maternal care, social memory and recognition, aggression, and anxiety, which was likely established in the course of their coevolution during last 10000–15000 years.

Oxytocin increases trust in humans
TL;DR: It is shown that intranasal administration of oxytocin, a neuropeptide that plays a key role in social attachment and affiliation in non-human mammals, causes a substantial increase in trust among humans, thereby greatly increasing the benefits from social interactions.

A cognitive-affective system theory of personality: Reconceptualizing situations, dispositions, dynamics, and invariance in personality structure.

TL;DR: A theory was proposed to reconcile paradoxical findings on the invariance of personality and the variability of behavior across situations to account for individual differences in predictable patterns of variability across situations.
