Oxytocin Controls Male Sexual Activity via Non-Synaptic Axonal Release in the Spinal Cord

Published: Jan 21, 2020
Abstract
There is considerable current interest concerning the role of the neuropeptide oxytocin in the regulation of socio-sexual behaviors in mammals, ranging from social bonding  to empathy. However, the precise mechanisms by which sparsely dispersed oxytocin fibers in the central nervous system lead to activation of distributed receptor populations are unclear. Here we present evidence, in rats, that release of oxytocin in the lumbar spinal cord is...
