Abstract
Commentary: Oxytocin Enables Maternal Behavior by Balancing Cortical Inhibition.
Highlights
Oxytocin is a key molecule in social behavior
How are maternal behaviors encoded in the brain? Oxytocin has been known to instruct the parental behavior since 1980s (Pedersen and Prange, 1979; Van Leengoed et al, 1987; Rilling and Young, 2014)
Oxytocin signaling in amygdala and nucleus accumbens-ventral pallidum pathways was critical in social bond formation
Summary
Oxytocin is a key molecule in social behavior. A recent study reported lateralized oxytocin signaling in left auditory cortex during pup-retrieval behavior of female mice. A commentary on Oxytocin enables maternal behavior by balancing cortical inhibition by Marlin, B. A recent study reported lateralized oxytocin signaling in left auditory cortex during pup-retrieval behavior of female mice. Left and right (L-R) hemispheres exhibit differences in both brain structure (e.g., volume, surface areas, length interhemispheric, and neuronal density) and the function.
