Oxytocin binding (Bmax) was found to be higher in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the medial preoptic area (MPOA) at midparturition compared with Pregnancy Days 15-17 or Postpartum Days 5-7 in…

The medial preoptic area (MPOA) appeared to be the most sensitive brain area to the facilitative effects of OXT, and is a primary site of the OXT facilitation of sexual receptivity where OXT may be released during mating.

It is hypothesized that intracerebral release of oxytocin at parturition may trigger maternal behavior, and immunohistochemical methods clearly demonstrated that oxytoc inergic pathways projected from hypothalamic nuclei to numerous extrahypothalamic brain sites.
