Interaction Between Oxytocin and Dopamine Signaling: Focus on the Striatum

2025-08-12

Abstract excerpt

Striatum can be described as a brain region containing a general neuronal mechanism to associate actions or events with reward. In particular, neural activity in the human striatum is modulated by social actions and, critically, by the conjunction of social actions and own reward. To perform this function, dopamine and oxytocin signaling reaching the striatum represent a key factor. These neurotransmitters, indeed...
