This document summarizes several research studies on oxytocin and its role in sociosexual interactions. It discusses how oxytocin is released during social interactions like mating. It also mentions studies that used Cre-lox mice and electron microscopy to study oxytocin neurons and synapses. Additionally, it references work using translating ribosome affinity purification and whole cell current clamps to examine how oxytocin neurons fire in response to oxytocin.
