Both oxytocin and vasopressin are mediators of maternal care and aggression in rodents: from central release to sites of action
In the mammalian peripartum period, the activity of both the brain oxytocin and vasopressin
system is elevated as part of the physiological adaptations occurring in the mother. This is …
