Oxytocin

The bonding neuropeptide — social behavior and trust research.

Oxytocin is a nonapeptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus with wide-ranging effects on social behavior, bonding, stress response, and reproductive function. Research has expanded beyond classical roles to explore social cognition, anxiety reduction, pair bonding, autism spectrum disorder models, and prosocial behavior in behavioral neuroscience.
