Oxytocin Modulates Nociception as an Agonist of Pain-Sensing TRPV1
Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: Oxytocin is a hormone with various actions. Oxytocin-containing parvocellular neurons project to the brainstem and spinal cord. Oxytocin release from these neurons suppresses nociception of inflammatory pain, the molecular mechanism of which ...

Oxytocin Increases Bias, but not Accuracy, in Face Recognition Line-Ups [PDF]
, 2014 Previous work indicates that intranasal inhalation of oxytocin improves face recognition skills, raising the possibility that it may be used in security settings. However, it is unclear whether oxytocin directly acts upon the core face-processing system

Characterization and Expression of Oxytocin and the Oxytocin Receptor
Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2000 Oxytocin, a nonapeptide hormone and neurotransmitter, is expressed in a variety of tissues, as are its receptors. In vivo, oxytocin acts as a paracrine and/or autocrine mediator of multiple biological effects. These effects are exerted primarily through interactions with G-protein-coupled oxytocin/vasopressin receptors, which, via G(q) and G(i ...

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2014 One of the most meaningful results recently achieved in bone research has been to reveal that the pituitary hormones have profound effect on bone, so that the pituitary-bone axis has become one of the major topics in skeletal physiology. Here, we discuss the relevant evidence about the posterior pituitary hormone oxytocin (OT), previously thought to ...
