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.

Expression of vasopressin and its receptors in migraine-related regions in CNS and the trigeminal system: influence of sex

The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2022
Background Hypothalamus is a key region in migraine attacks. In addition, women are disproportionately affected by migraine. The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) system is an important key player in migraine pathophysiology. CGRP signaling could be

Regulators of G protein signalling proteins in the human myometrium [PDF]

, 2009
The contractile state of the human myometrium is controlled by extracellular signals that promote relaxation or contraction. Many of these signals function through G proteincoupled receptors at the cell surface, stimulating heterotrimeric G proteins and ...

Fear-enhancing effects of septal oxytocin receptors

Nature Neuroscience, 2013
The nonapeptide oxytocin is considered beneficial to mental health due to its anxiolytic, prosocial and antistress effects, but evidence for anxiogenic actions of oxytocin in humans has recently emerged.

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

Roles of estrogen receptor-alpha in mediating life span: the hypothalamic deregulation hypothesis. [PDF]

, 2017
In several species caloric restriction (CR) extends life span. In this paper we integrate data from studies on CR and other sources to articulate the hypothalamic deregulation hypothesis by which estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-α) signaling in the ...

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

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 ...

Characterization of three vasopressin receptor 2 variants: an apparent polymorphism (V266A) and two loss-of-function mutations (R181C and M311V). [PDF]

, 2013
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is released from the posterior pituitary and controls water homeostasis. AVP binding to vasopressin V2 receptors (V2Rs) located on kidney collecting duct epithelial cells triggers activation of Gs proteins, leading to increased
