Oxytocin, acting through the oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) in the periphery, is best known for its
roles in regulating parturition and lactation. However, it is also now known to possess a …

Long-standing studies established a role for the oxytocin system in social behavior, social
reward, pair bonding and affiliation. Oxytocin receptors, implicated in pathological conditions …

Oxytocin (Oxt) neurons regulate diverse physiological responses via direct connections with
different neural circuits. However, the lack of comprehensive input-output wiring diagrams of …

Oxytocin (OT) is increasingly studied for its therapeutic potential in psychiatric disorders,
which are associated with the deregulation of several neurotransmission systems. Studies in …

The past 10 years have witnessed the growth of the view that neuropeptides are essential to
the functional integrity of the central nervous system. Oxytocin (OXT), which was long …

The role of the neuropeptide oxytocin in social behaviors is one of the earliest and most
significant discoveries in social neuroscience. The history of oxytocin research started after …

We characterised the behavioural phenotype of mice heterozygous (O xtr+/−) for the
