Behavioral Pharmacology of Neuropeptides: Oxytocin

Behavioral Pharmacology of Neuropeptides: Oxytocin gathers expert reviews on the functions and therapeutic prospects of oxytocin. The volume connects basic research on social neuroscience with clinical psychiatry.

The text reviews how animal models identified key neural circuits and genetic elements regulating social behavior. It outlines the role of oxytocin in human brain function and its relevance to conditions involving social-cognitive impairment, such as borderline personality disorder, autism spectrum disorders, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

The collection also examines translational considerations, focusing on how targeted interventions can inform precision medicine strategies for psychiatric care.
