The importance of oxytocin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus for breastfeeding in mice.
PLoS ONE, 2023 The hormone oxytocin, secreted from oxytocin neurons in the paraventricular (PVH) and supraoptic (SO) hypothalamic nuclei, promotes parturition, milk ejection, and maternal caregiving behaviors. Previous experiments with whole-body oxytocin knockout mice
