Advances in the field of intranasal oxytocin research: lessons learned and future directions for clinical research

Daniel S. Quintana et al.

Summary: Recent advances in human and animal research provide converging evidence for functionally relevant effects of intranasal oxytocin administration, supporting the idea that direct nose-to-brain delivery underlies the behavioral effects of oxytocin on social cognition and behavior. Furthermore, discussions on previously debated methodological issues, such as pre-registration, reproducibility, statistical power, interpretation of non-significant results, dosage, and sex differences, are integrated with suggestions for the next steps in translating intranasal oxytocin into psychiatric applications.

Intranasal oxytocin administration facilitates the induction of long-term potentiation and promotes cognitive performance of maternally separated rats

Sara Joushi et al.

Summary: Maternal separation induces permanent changes in the central nervous system of rat pups, leading to increased anxiety levels and cognitive impairments. The neuropeptide oxytocin has the potential to mitigate these negative effects, enhancing sociability, learning, memory, locomotor activity, and reducing anxiety-like behavior. Oxytocin injection can also overcome the impairment in long term potentiation induced by maternal separation.

Oxytocin Signaling as a Target to Block Social Defeat-Induced Increases in Drug Abuse Reward

Carmen Ferrer-Perez et al.

Summary: Oxytocin plays a crucial role in regulating addiction, with positive effects in mitigating drug abuse and buffering against stress. However, continuous stress or drug use can lead to dysregulation of the oxytocin system, making oxytocin a promising pharmacotherapy to restore natural benefits and rebalance the addicted brain's functions.

Chronic intranasal oxytocin reverses stress-induced social avoidance in female prairie voles

Luanne H. Hale et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of chronic oxytocin (OXT) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment on social defeat stress in male and female socially monogamous prairie voles. Results showed that chronic intranasal OXT treatment had a negative impact on sociability in non-defeated females but promoted social engagement in defeated females. Moreover, SSRI treatment had only modest effects on social behaviors compared to OXT.

Oxytocin and vasopressin within the ventral and dorsal lateral septum modulate aggression in female rats

Vinicius Elias de Moura Oliveira et al.

Summary: This study establishes a model of enhanced aggression in virgin female rats and shows that oxytocin and vasopressin systems differentially modulate aggression in distinct neuronal populations of the lateral septum of female rats.

Summary: The study found that CSDS affects behavioral performance and levels of social withdrawal in monogamous mandarin voles, with the OT and AVP systems potentially playing important regulatory roles in sex differences of behavioral performances.

Paraventricular Nucleus Oxytocin Subsystems Promote Active Paternal Behaviors in Mandarin Voles

Zhixiong He et al.

Summary: Paternal care is crucial for the development of offspring in monogamous species, and the activation of oxytocin neurons in the PVN to VTA or NAc plays a significant role in promoting paternal care. Understanding the neuronal circuitry underlying paternal care could have implications for treating abnormalities such as paternal postpartum depression or abuse.

Oxytocin neurons enable social transmission of maternal behaviour

Ioana Carcea et al.

Summary: The study shows that mice can acquire maternal behavior through social transmission, where experienced mothers guide virgin females in maternal care through visual observation, activating oxytocin neurons in the hypothalamus and promoting alloparenting.

Adolescent oxytocin administration reduces depression-like behaviour induced by early life stress in adult male and female rats

Jade L. Thornton et al.

Summary: The study found that adolescent oxytocin treatment can prevent the expression of depressive-like behaviors following early life stress in both male and female rats. Early life stress resulted in weight loss, while oxytocin treatment had no impact on body weight but prevented the increase in adrenal gland weight caused by early life stress.
