Dual Oxytocin Signals in Striatal Astrocytes
BiomoleculesThe ability of the neuropeptide oxytocin to affect glial cell function is receiving increasing attention. We previously reported that oxytocin at a low nanomolar concentration could inhibit both astrocytic Ca2+ signals and glutamate release.

Carbachol increases intracellular free calcium concentrations in human granulosa-lutein cells [PDF]
, 1992 We investigated whether the stimulation of human granulosa-lutein cells with muscarinic and nicotinic receptor agonists can cause increases in intracellular free calcium (Ca2+), using Fura-2 microfluorimetry.

Hippocampal oxytocin receptors are necessary for discrimination of social stimuli
Nature Communications, 2017 While oxytocin is known to be critical for social recognition, the functions of oxytocin receptors (Oxtrs) in the hippocampus are not known. This study shows that Oxtrs in anterior dentate gyrus and CA2/CA3 pyramidal cells recruit population-based coding
