The two fold role of oxytocin in social developmental disorders: A cause and a remedy?

TL;DR: Recent evidence suggesting a link between oxytocin labor induction and developmental social impairments such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is discussed and a review of animal studies investigating the long term effects of neonatal injection of Oxytocin is provided to shed light on the biological mechanisms that mediate the contribution of early oxytocIn supplementation on the development of social impairment.

Cortisol and oxytocin show independent activity during chimpanzee intergroup conflict.

TL;DR: Results indicate independent secretion of oxytocin and cortisol during chimpanzee intergroup conflict, emphasizing that stressor exposure in this context is not the main trigger of oxyobjection, and increasing levels of out-group risk showed no significant variation.
