Vasopressin and oxytocin are the key hormones of the
hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system, and are well-known to be
critically involved in antidiuresis, labor, and milk ejection. This
book highlights the latest research on vasopressin and oxytocin,
covering multiple biological aspects. The capacity of both hormones
to regulate various aspects of social behaviours including
pair-bonding, aggression, maternal love, and sexual behaviour, is a
main focus, as are their interactions with a variety of other
neuromodulators and transmitters. Moreover, the book illustrates
the recent development of vasopressin and oxytocin
agonists/antagonists as potential drugs to treat not only
disturbances of body fluid homeostasis, but also mental disorders,
including social phobia, autism, anxiety, and depression. The
promising combination of basic and clinical research, comprising
physiology, neuroendocrinology, behavioral biology, pharmacology,
imaging and molecular genetics makes this book an essential
addition to both experts and scientists new to the field alike.
