“…Oxytocin (OT) is a hormone and neuropeptide synthetized in the pituitary gland, mainly known for its role in animal and human pairbonding, recognition of nonverbal social stimuli, psychological wellbeing, and mothering behaviors (for a review, see Ishak, Kahloon, & Fakhry, 2010;Scantamburlo, Ansseau, Geenen, & Legros, 2009;Tom & Assinder, 2010).…”

This article considers links between clinical hypnosis, attachment theory, and oxytocin. First, it proposes that commonalities between clinical hypnosis and attachment theory may improve our understanding of the hypnotherapeutic process. Then, it suggests that an integrative model unifying clinical hypnosis and attachment theory may constitute a link between clinical hypnosis and a neurobiological factor such as oxytocin. Finally, it discusses the implications of these hypotheses for clinical practice and future researches.Nowadays an abundant scientific literature acknowledges the therapeutic value of clinical hypnosis (for a review,

“…This gene was shown to be subject to epigenetic regulation by DNA methylation in the frontal cortex of males with ASD. 47 The hormone oxytocin is known to be involved in several aspects of social behavior, 143 and genetic variation of oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) has been found to be associated with ASD in several studies. [144][145][146][147] Recently, increased DNA methylation in the promoter of OXTR in blood and temporal cortex was found to be associated with ASD.…”

Nonsocial Functions of Hypothalamic Oxytocin

Oxytocin (OXT) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide composed of nine amino acids. The functions of OXT cover a variety of social and nonsocial activity/behaviors. Therapeutic effects of OXT on aberrant social behaviors are attracting more attention, such as social memory, attachment, sexual behavior, maternal behavior, aggression, pair bonding, and trust. The nonsocial behaviors/functions of brain OXT have also received renewed attention, which covers brain development, reproduction, sex, endocrine, immune regulation, learning and memory, pain perception, energy balance, and almost all the functions of peripheral organ systems. Coordinating with brain OXT, locally produced OXT also involves the central and peripheral actions of OXT. Disorders in OXT secretion and functions can cause a series of aberrant social behaviors, such as depression, autism, and schizophrenia as well as disturbance of nonsocial behaviors/functions, such as anorexia, obesity, lactation failure, osteoporosis, diabetes, and carcinogenesis. As more and more OXT functions are identified, it is essential to provide a general view of OXT functions in order to explore the therapeutic potentials of OXT. In this review, we will focus on roles of hypothalamic OXT on central and peripheral nonsocial functions.
