Oxytocin: a parenting hormone

Current Opinion in Psychology, 2017
In non-human mammals mothering is hormone-dependent, with crucial roles for oxytocin and prolactin. While human parenting is not hormone-dependent, hormonal changes in oxytocin, vasopressin, prolactin, testosterone, and cortisol prime and accompany the expression of parenting.

Beyond happiness: Building a science of discrete positive emotions. [PDF]

, 2017
While trait positive emotionality and state positive-valence affect have long been the subject of intense study, the importance of differentiating among several "discrete" positive emotions has only recently begun to receive serious attention.

FIGO position statement on the use of the WHO labor care guide versus the partograph

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract The partograph, a graphical tool for recording labor events and assessing progress, was initially introduced by Dr. Emmanuel Friedman in 1954. Subsequent development by Philpott and Castle led to the widely adopted partograph in 1972. The World Health Organisation (WHO) endorsed its use in all labor wards in 1994, based on a multicenter trial ...

Climate Change, Cooperation, and Moral Bioenhancement [PDF]

, 2016
The human faculty of moral judgment is not well suited to address problems, like climate change, that are global in scope and remote in time. Advocates of ‘moral bioenhancement’ have proposed that we should investigate the use of medical technologies to ...

Am I safe around you? Attachment figure activation increases perceived security but does not reduce negative interpretations of neutral expressions

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Child maltreatment (CM) is associated with social problems, such as loneliness and isolation. One factor that might contribute to these problems is the tendency for individuals who have experienced CM to interpret neutral facial expressions as negative (i.e., negativity bias).

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of G protein‐coupled receptors in autism spectrum disorders

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are diagnosed in 1/100 children worldwide, based on two core symptoms: deficits in social interaction and communication, and stereotyped behaviours. G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell‐surface receptors that transduce extracellular signals to convergent intracellular signalling ...

Newborn analgesia mediated by oxytocin during delivery

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2011
The mechanisms controlling pain in newborns during delivery are poorly understood. We explored the hypothesis that oxytocin, an essential hormone for labor and a powerful neuromodulator, exerts analgesic actions on newborns during delivery.

Deciphering autism heterogeneity: a molecular stratification approach in four mouse models [PDF]

arXiv
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impairments in social interaction, communication, as well as restrained or stereotyped behaviors. The inherent heterogeneity within the autism spectrum poses challenges for developing effective pharmacological treatments targeting core features.

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.
