Behavioural studies using temporal and spatial inactivation of the oxytocin receptor.

Progress in brain research - 1 Jan 2008

Lee Heon-Jin, Caldwell Heather K, Macbeth Abbe H, Young W Scott

Abstract excerpt

Oxytocin (Oxt), synthesized in magnocellular neurons of the paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) hypothalamic nuclei for transport to and release from the posterior pituitary, is released during parturition and is essential for lactation. Lesser amounts of Oxt are made by smaller cells of the PVN and a few other forebrain nuclei and released into the central nervous system (CNS) to influence various other...
