Oxytocin in animal models of autism spectrum disorder
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder is a behavioral disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication together with the presence of stereotyped behaviors and restricted interests. Although highly genetic, its etiology is complex which correlates with the extensive heterogeneity found in its clinical manifestation, adding to the challenge of understanding its pathophysiology and develop targeted pharmacotherapies. The neuropeptide oxytocin is part of a highly conserved system involved in the regulation of social behavior, and both animal and human research have shown that variation in the oxytocin ...

Lifespan oxytocin signaling: Maturation, flexibility, and stability in newborn, adolescent, and aged brain
ABSTRACT The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) is a forefront molecule among neuropeptides due to its pronounced prosocial effects and its potential use in socioemotional deficits that characterize the most prevalent neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders (autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia). The effects of OT have been studied in young and adult subjects (either animals or humans), while the complete lifespan trajectories of OT system development and activity have been far less investigated. In this (mini) review, we will primarily focus on three temporal distinct periods of life—early postnatal per...
