Oxytocin neurons enable social transmission of maternal behaviour
Nature, 2019 Maternal care, including by non-biological parents, is important for offspring survival1–8. Oxytocin1,2,9–15, which is released by the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), is a critical maternal hormone.

Epigenetic modification of the oxytocin receptor gene is associated with emotion processing in the infant brain [PDF]
, 2019 The neural capacity to discriminate between emotions emerges early in development, though little is known about specific factors that contribute to variability in this vital skill during infancy.

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Exposure to urban air pollution, particularly particulate matter (PM), has been correlated with an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases, notably Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the association between urban air pollution and neurodegenerative diseases remain unclear.

An overview of the oxytocin-oxytocin receptor signaling network [PDF]
Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, 2016 Oxytocin, a nine amino acid long neuropeptide hormone, is synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored and released from the neural lobe of the pituitary gland. Although commonly known for its central role in the regulation of parturition and lactation, oxytocin signaling also plays a key role in modulating social behavior, evoking contentment ...

Labeled oxytocin administered via the intranasal route reaches the brain in rhesus macaques
Nature Communications, 2020 Oxytocin may have promise as a treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders. Its therapeutic effect may depend on its ability to enter the brain and bind to the oxytocin receptor.

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.What's New? The rarity of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and lack of available environmental data have made the role of environmental factors in genetic subtypes challenging to investigate. Here, the authors performed a CpG‐level analysis to investigate DNA methylation as an intermediate mechanism between environmental risk exposures and acute ...

Extrahypothalamic oxytocin neurons drive stress-induced social vigilance and avoidance
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance The neuropeptide oxytocin is an important regulator of social behavior and is widely considered to reduce anxiety-related behaviors. However, growing evidence suggests that sometimes oxytocin increases anxiety. How can the same molecule have

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 ...
