Oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) signaling in neural circuits mediating discrimination of social stimuli
and affiliation or avoidance behavior is thought to guide social recognition. Remarkably, the …

The release of dopamine (DA) regulates rewarding behavior and motor actions through
striatum-targeting efferents from ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars …

Many social behaviours are evolutionarily conserved and are essential for the healthy
development of an individual. The neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) is crucial for the fine-tuned …

Recognition of other's emotions influences the way social animals interact and adapt to the
