Center Role of the Oxytocin-Secreting System in Neuroendocrine-Immune Network Revisited

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the concept of the oxytocin-secreting system, which is the center structure in the O2 neuron-immune network, and showed that it can synthesize and release many cytokines and oxytocins while being the target of both O2 and cytokines by the mediation of corresponding receptors.

Orienting in a defensive world: Mammalian modifications of our evolutionary heritage. A Polyvagal Theory

TL;DR: The Polyvagal Theory is introduced to explain the different functions of the two primary medullary source nuclei of the vagus and speculates that mammalian, but not reptilian, brainstem organization is characterized by a ventral vagal complex related to processes associated with attention, motion, emotion, and communication.

The organization of noradrenergic pathways from the brainstem to the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei in the rat

TL;DR: The autoradiographic material, and additional double-labeling experiments, were used to identify and to characterize projections that interconnect the A1, A2 and A6 regions, as well as possible projections from these cell groups to the spinal cord.
