Abstract:The oxytocinergic and vasopressinergic systems regulate vital homeostatic functions as well as complex behaviors like social interaction. Despite their central neuromodulatory action, many details regarding the specification of the oxytocinergic and vasopressinergic circuits as well as the regulation of oxytocin (OXT) and vasopressin (AVP) release in the Central Nervous System remain unknown. Our laboratory has implemented a multidisciplinary approach combining genetic tagging for assaying OXT-containing vesic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
