As mammals develop, they encounter increasing social complexity in the surrounding world.
In order to survive, mammals must show appropriate behaviors toward their mates, offspring …

Vasopressin (Avp) is mainly synthesized in the magnocellular cells of the hypothalamic
supraoptic (SON) and paraventricular nuclei (PVN) whose axons project to the posterior …

Vasopressin (VP) and VP-like neuropeptides are evolutionarily stable peptides found in all
vertebrate species. In non-mammalian vertebrates, vasotocin (VT) plays a role similar to …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and arginine vasotocin (AVT) influence social behaviors in a
number of species from diverse taxonomic groups, therefore suggesting a conservation of …

The neuropeptide arginine vasotocin (AVT; non-mammals) and its mammalian homologue,
arginine vasopressin (AVP) influence a variety of sex-typical and species-specific behaviors …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a powerful regulator of various social behaviors across many
species. However, seemingly contradictory effects of AVP have been found in both animal …

To date, much of the work in rodents implicating vasopressin (Avp) in the regulation of social
behavior has focused on its action via the Avp 1a receptor (Avpr1a). However, there is …

Vasotocin (AVT) and vasopressin (AVP) are potent modulators of social behaviors in diverse
species of vertebrates. This review addresses questions about how and where AVT and …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and related peptides have diverse effects on social behaviors in
vertebrates, sometimes promoting affiliative interactions and sometimes aggressive or …

Central vasopressin facilitates social recognition and modulates numerous complex social
behaviors in mammals, including parental behavior, aggression, affiliation, and pair …
