Oxytocin: Neurobiology of Prosocial Behavior (Marsh et al., 2021)

I. Introduction To Oxytocin And Social Behavior Humans are notable for their wide scope of prosocial behavior. This behavior helps form and maintain social relationships. Prosociality is linked to the neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT). OXT is synthesized in the hypothalamus of the brain. It acts as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. OXT was originally adapted for reproduction and parental care. It is crucial for labor contractions and lactation. OXT has been conserved through evolution to guide behavior. II. Complexity Of Oxytocin Effects OXT is not simply a "love hormone" that always helps. Its effects depend on individual personality and context. OXT can increase envy and gloating in some situations. It may decrease cooperation in borderline personality disorder. OXT can facilitate in-group favoring or out-group derogation. It does not uniformly promote positive social behaviors. Effects vary based on gender, culture, and early environment. Outcomes depend on whether social cues are interpreted as safe. III. Altruism And Care Mechanisms Altruism improves the welfare of others at a personal cost. This behavior is deeply rooted in the social brain. OXT supports care-based altruism for offspring. It modulates neural responsiveness to infant cues. Fathers with higher OXT show more sensitivity in play. OXT also supports care for unrelated individuals. It can increase generosity based on social closeness. OXT enhances sensitivity to fear and pain in others. It targets brain areas that interpret threat and distress. IV. Clinical Translation And Future Directions Intranasal OXT is used to study brain effects in humans. Researchers hope to treat psychiatric social dysfunctions. OXT reduces amygdala reactivity to fear signals,. It shows promise for treating anxiety disorders. OXT may help social deficits in autism spectrum disorders. It improves recognition of nonverbal emotion cues. It may help treat disorders of antisociality and psychopathy. Antisocial populations often show low peripheral OXT levels. Therapeutic context must be controlled to avoid negative effects. V. Additional Resource Support See NourishED RFI's NotebookLM Resource Support Page. https://notebooklm.google.com/noteboo... VI.
