Hypothalamic oxytocin (OT) is released into the brain by cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) with or
without depolarizing stimulation. Previously, we showed that the intracellular free calcium …

Methods Using Magel2 knockout mice, an animal model of Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS)
and Schaaf-Yang Syndrome (SYS), we tested memory of social fear and safety after a …

The regulation of neuropeptide level at the site of release is essential for proper
neurophysiological functions. We focused on a prominent neuropeptide, oxytocin (OXT) in …

Magnocellular neurons (MCNs) in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system (HNS) are
highly specialized to release large amounts of arginine vasopressin (Avp) or oxytocin (Oxt) …

Genetic alterations related to oxytocin system seem to influence the neurobiology of
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and anxiety problems leading to greater functional …

The neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of behavioural
deficits among patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the molecular …

Hypothalamo-neurohypophysial oxytocin (OXT) plays an essential role in reproduction and
in several socio-physiological functions, including stress reduction, anxiety relief, feeding …

Immune-induced activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis elevates
glucocorticoids, anti-inflammatory hormones, promoting the effective resolution of …

The projections from hypothalamic magnocellular neuroendocrine cells (MNCs) to the
posterior pituitary (PPi) are traditionally defined as the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial …

During lactation, the main surge of oxytocin is induced by a suckling stimulus. Previous
studies have shown that salsolinol (1-methyl-6, 7-dihydroxy-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline …
