The Varieties of Self-Transcendent Experience (2017, neutral): “T hi s ar tic le is in te nd ed so le ly fo r th e pe rs on al us e of th e in di vi du al us er an d is no t to be di ss em in at ed br oa dl y. regions associated with STEs (Grigorenko, Warren, Lerner, & Phelps, 2011; Landgraf & Neumann, 2004).”
Dendritic peptide release and peptide-dependent behaviours (2006, background): “Why are so many different peptides needed — many more than the number of classical synaptic neurotransmitters? Increasingly, we are recognizing that peptides have a role in information processing that is quite unlike that of conventional neurotransmitter”
Neuroendocrinology of coping styles: towards understanding the biology of individual variation. (2010, neutral): “One key brain area that importantly controls behavioral and autonomic stress-coping responses, and where vasopressin and oxytocin modulate neuronal activity in opposite ways, is the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) [67] Stressful stimuli increase the levels of both peptides in the extracellular”
Oxytocin shapes the neural circuitry of trust and trust adaptation in humans. (2008, neutral): “In addition, OT shows significant binding in the limbic system, including the amygdala (Huber et al., 2005; Landgraf and Neumann, 2004) and decreases stress responses and anxiety in social interactions (Bale et al., 2001; Neumann et al., 2000; Parker et al., 2005; Uvnas-Moberg, 1998a, 1998b).”
Evoked axonal oxytocin release in the central amygdala attenuates fear response. (2012, neutral): “…anatomical findings now open the technical prospect for studying the effects of endogenous OT release in various brain regions with respect to distinct forms of social behavior (Landgraf and Neumann, 2004; Ludwig and Leng, 2006; Donaldson and Young, 2008; Lee et al., 2009; Ross and Young, 2009).”
Oxytocin and social affiliation in humans. (2012, background): “Although much further research is required to chart the molecular, chemical, and neurological aspects of OT, it is clear that the OT system is among the most widely-distributed throughout body and brain and that OT is dynamically engaged with homeostatic, appetitive, reparatory, stress reduction, sa”
Oxytocin improves "mind-reading" in humans. (2007, neutral): “In addition, oxytocin receptors are distributed in various brain areas (Landgraf and Neumann 2004) that are associated with social behavior, including reproductive and parenting behaviors, affiliation and attachment, social memory, and reactivity to social stress in nonhuman mammals (Carter 1998;…”
The Biology of Trust: Integrating Evidence From Genetics, Endocrinology, and Functional Brain Imaging (2012, background): “Moreover, limbic regions associated with emotions and memory (e.g., amygdala, hippocampus, and hypothalamus) have an accumulation of OXT receptors (Barberis & Tribollet, 1996; Insel, 1997; Landgraf & Neumann, 2004; Verbalis, 1999).”
Promoting social behavior with oxytocin in high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (2010, background): “Best known for its facilitatory role in parturition and lactation, oxytocin is also involved in the regulation of emotions and has receptors distributed in various brain regions including the limbic system and amygdala (11, 12).”
Psychobiological Mechanisms Underlying the Social Buffering of the HPA Axis: A Review of Animal Models and Human Studies across Development (2013, background): “…at other extrahypothalamic sites (e.g., through release from hypothalamic neurons projecting to several limbic areas, including amygdala, hippocampus, and septal nuclei), and these centrally released peptides act as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators within the brain (Landgraf & Neumann, 2004).”
Oxytocin, vasopressin, and human social behavior. (2009, background): “Moreover, plasma concentrations of OT have not proven to closely reflect the central nervous availability of the neuropeptide [94].”
