Oxytocin regulates parturition, lactation, parental nurturing, and many other social behaviors
in both sexes. The circuit mechanisms by which oxytocin modulates social behavior are …

In nature, animals display defensive behaviors that reflect the spatiotemporal distance of
threats. Laboratory-based paradigms that elicit specific defensive responses in rodents have …

The many facets of the oxytocin (OXT) system of the brain and periphery elicited nearly
25,000 publications since 1930 (see, as listed in PubMed), which revealed central roles for …

Resilience–a key topic in clinical science and practice–still lacks a clear conceptualization
that integrates its evolutionary and human‐specific features, refrains from exclusive focus on …

Decades of research has identified the brain areas that are involved in fear, fear extinction,
anxiety and related defensive behaviours. Newly developed genetic and viral tools …

Oxytocin is important for social interactions and maternal behaviour. However, little is known
about when, where and how oxytocin modulates neural circuits to improve social cognition …

Oxytocin (OT) orchestrates social and emotional behaviors through modulation of neural
circuits. In the central amygdala, the release of OT modulates inhibitory circuits and, thereby …

The neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) has been revealed as a profound anxiolytic and antistress
factor of the brain, besides its many prosocial and reproductive effects. Therefore, there is …

The neuropeptides vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) and their receptors in the brain are
involved in the regulation of various social behaviors and have emerged as drug targets for …

Oxytocin and vasopressin are regulators of anxiety, stress-coping, and sociality. They are
released within hypothalamic and limbic areas from dendrites, axons, and perikarya …
