(Re-)activity in the caregiving situation: Genetic diversity within Oxytocin–Vasopressin Pathway is associated with salivary oxytocin and vasopressin concentrations in response to contact with a crying infant-simulator

DOI: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2021.105294
Abstract: Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) hormones as well as their receptors (OXTR and AVPR1a) have been deemed crucial for caregiving and sensitive responsiveness to infant cues. However, previous research on genetic polymorphisms and OT and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2021.09.022
Abstract: Male and female stump-tailed macaques (Macaca arctoides) form close relationships akin to human friendships. Oxytocin and vasopressin modulate these and other social relationships and reproductive behavior and physiology in various mammal species. Besides the behavioral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2017.01.006
Abstract: Abstract This study investigates paternal brain function with the hope of better understanding the neural basis for variation in caregiving involvement among men. The neuropeptides oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) are implicated in paternal caregiving… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jne.12828
Abstract: Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) are known modulators of social behaviour across rodents. Research has revealed the location of action of these nonapeptides through localization of their associated receptors, which include the oxytocin receptor (OTR)… read more here.
