| Research Abstract |
Oxytocin-oxytocin receptor systems play important roles in the control of social behaviors. Oxytocin-synthesizing neurons are localized not only in the hypothalamus but also in the bed nucleus of stria termninalis. However, it is not clear which oxytocin-synthesizing neurons are involved in social behaviors. On the other hand, oxytocin receptors can be activated by oxytocin and vasopressin. We tried to establish a method for destroying local oxytocin- or vasopressin-synthesizing neurons. We successfully destroyed vasopressin-synthesizing neurons in the olfactory bulb.
