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.

Oxytocin functions as a spatiotemporal filter for excitatory synaptic inputs to VTA dopamine neurons
eLife, 2018 The experience of rewarding or aversive stimuli is encoded by distinct afferents to dopamine (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Several neuromodulatory systems including oxytocin regulate DA neuron excitability and synaptic transmission ...

The biopsychology of maternal behavior in nonhuman mammals [PDF]
, 1990 The term “maternal behavior,” when applied to nonhuman mammals, includes the behaviors exhibited in preparation for the arrival of newborn, in the care and protection of the newly arrived young, and in the weaning of those young, and represents a complex

Pre-reproductive parental enriching experiences influence progeny’s developmental trajectories [PDF]
, 2018 While the positive effects of environmental enrichment (EE) applied after weaning, in adulthood, during aging, or even in the presence of brain damage have been widely described, the transgenerational effects of pre-reproductive EE have been less ...

Interactions of Oxytocin and Dopamine—Effects on Behavior in Health and Disease
BiomedicinesThe hypothalamic neuropeptide and hormone oxytocin are of fundamental importance for maternal, social, and sexual behavior. Deviations in oxytocin levels have also been associated with anxiety, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), depression, ADHD (attention

Oxytocin Increases Phasic and Tonic GABAergic Transmission in CA1 Region of Mouse Hippocampus
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Oxytocin is a neuropeptide that plays important peripheral and central neuromodulatory functions. Our data show that, following activation of oxytocin receptors (OtRs) with the selective agonist TGOT (Thr4,Gly7-oxytocin), a significant increase in ...
