“The Biological Effects of Childhood Trauma” (2014, neutral): “responsible for the regulation of a wider range of social interactions, including social memory and cognition, emotion recognition, empathy, and attachment.(166) In addition, the oxytocin system is involved in the regulation of the body’s response to stress.”
Plasticity of Cortical Excitatory-Inhibitory Balance (2015, background): “Peripheral release of oxytocin via the pituitary gland is important for parturition and lactation, whereas central release has cognitive effects related to pair-bond formation (Bartz et al. 2011, Carter 1998, Dulac et al. 2014, Insel & Young 2001).”
The Social Salience Hypothesis of Oxytocin. (2016, neutral): “(23) suggesting that the effects of OT are interactively constrained by features of situations”
When the Love Hormone Leads to Violence (2014, background): “But other research suggests that, under certain circumstances, boosting oxytocin can reduce prosocial behavior and enhance defensive aggression toward strangers (Bartz et al., 2011a; De Dreu et al., 2010).”
Informal Caregiving: A Reappraisal of Effects on Caregivers (2014, neutral): “Human studies also show a relationship between (intranasal administration of) oxytocin and elements of prosocial behavior (e.g., empathy, trust, generosity), but results to date have been variable and context-specific (Bartz et al., 2011).”
Oxytocin and social affiliation in humans. (2012, background): “Bartz et al. (2011) demonstrated that the effects of OT administration on memories of maternal closeness in childhood were mediated by the individual's history of reported attachment security and the beneficial effects of OT inhaling were observed only among securely attached individuals.”
The role of oxytocin in social bonding, stress regulation and mental health: an update on the moderating effects of context and interindividual differences. (2013, background): “…et al.) or differential interpretations due to interindividual factors (i.e. sex in study of Kubzansky et al.; attachment style in study of Bartz et al.; presence of depressive symptoms in study of Ellenbogen & Cardoso), further reinforcing a more nuanced view of oxytocin (Bartz et al., 2011a).”
