- Psychology, Medicine
- Developmental science
- 1 July 2011
Studies in mammals have implicated the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) in processes of bond formation and stress modulation, yet the involvement of OT in human bonding throughout life remains poorly… Expand

BACKGROUND
The nonapeptide oxytocin (OT) has been repeatedly implicated in processes of parent-infant bonding in animal models; yet, its role in the development of human parenting has received less… Expand
Oxytocin enhances brain function in children with autism

- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2 December 2013
Significance This article presents our discovery that intranasal administration of oxytocin enhances activity in the brain for socially meaningful stimuli and attenuates its response to nonsocially… Expand
Natural variations in maternal and paternal care are associated with systematic changes in oxytocin following parent–infant contact
- R. Feldman, Ilanit Gordon, I. Schneiderman, Omri Weisman, O. Zagoory-Sharon
- Psychology, Medicine
- Psychoneuroendocrinology
- 1 September 2010
Animal studies have demonstrated that the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) plays a critical role in processes of parent-infant bonding through mechanisms of early parental care, particularly maternal… Expand
The cross-generation transmission of oxytocin in humans
- R. Feldman, Ilanit Gordon, O. Zagoory-Sharon
- Psychology, Medicine
- Hormones and Behavior
- 1 September 2010
Animal studies demonstrated that the neuropeptide oxytocin (OT), implicated in bond formation across mammalian species, is transmitted from mother to young through mechanisms of early social… Expand
Brain Mechanisms for Processing Affective (and Nonaffective) Touch Are Atypical in Autism.
- M. D. Kaiser, Daniel Y-J Yang, +8 authors K. Pelphrey
- Psychology, Medicine
- Cerebral cortex
- 1 June 2016
C-tactile (CT) afferents encode caress-like touch that supports social-emotional development, and stimulation of the CT system engages the insula and cortical circuitry involved in social-emotional… Expand
Parental Oxytocin and Early Caregiving Jointly Shape Children’s Oxytocin Response and Social Reciprocity
- R. Feldman, Ilanit Gordon, Moran Influs, Tamar Gutbir, R. Ebstein
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neuropsychopharmacology
- 16 January 2013
Oxytocin (OT) has an important role in bond formation and social reciprocity, and animal studies indicate that OT functioning is transferred from parent to child through patterns of parental care.… Expand

- 1 May 2008
Despite extensive research on the involvement of oxytocin (OT) in mammalian bonding, less is known about its role in human social affiliation across the life cycle. Forty-five romantically unattached… Expand

- Ilanit Gordon, O. Zagoory-Sharon, J. Leckman, R. Feldman
- Psychology, Medicine
- Hormones and Behavior
- 1 August 2010
Animal studies have implicated the neuropeptides Prolactin (PRL) and Oxytocin (OT) in processes of maternal bonding and PRL has similarly been shown to play a role in the neurophysiology of… Expand
