 | | Reduction of sociophobic behavior was shown after treatment with oxytocin. | | | Sucking by the infant at the nipple stimulates oxytocin release. | | | Oxytocin may play a role in encouraging "tend and befriend", as opposed to "fight or flight", behavior, in response to stress. |

| | In the woman oxytocin release is often associated with such stimuli as the sight or sound or even the thought of the infant indicating a large cerebral component in this "neuroendocrine reflex". | | | Some of the dendrites have varicosities that suggest that they release oxytocin locally within the hypothalamus, a suggestion that is supported by several observations suggesting that local oxytocin is an essential regulator of the milk ejection reflex. | | | Finally there is mounting evidence for stimulatory effects of prolactin acting at the level of the neurohypophysis to play a role in oxytocin release possibly as part of a bidirectional feedback positive feedback loop in which oxytocin also facilitates prolactin release. |

| | It may be best to view oxytocin as a major facilitator of parturition and maternal behavior rather than a necessary component of these processes. | | | First, infusion of oxytocin into the ventricles of the brain of virgin rats or non-pregnant sheep rapidly induces maternal behavior. | | | During parturition, there is an increase in concentration of oxytocin in cerebrospinal fluid, and oxytocin acting within the brain plays a major role in establishing maternal behavior. |
