In suckled rats, some magnocellular neurons displayed both vasopressin-related phasic activity and oxytocin-related milk ejection bursts. Characteristics of basal activity and interspike intervals resembled those of vasopressin neurons. Bursts were coincident with those of oxytocin neurons and we...
