Oxytocin, stress and social behavior: neurogenetics of the human oxytocin system.

Current opinion in neurobiology - 1 Feb 2013

Kumsta Robert, Heinrichs Markus

Abstract excerpt

The neuropeptide oxytocin has had key roles throughout mammalian evolution in the regulation of complex social cognition and behaviors, such as attachment, parental care, pair-bonding, as well as social exploration and recognition. Recently, studies have begun to provide evidence that the function of this neuropeptide is impaired in mental disorders associated with social deficits. In this review, we focus on the...
