From Animals to Humans: The Universality of Oxytocin’s Effects

Oxytocin, known as the “love hormone,” is a neurotransmitter produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. It is vital for social bonding, reproduction, and childbirth, where it aids in uterine contractions and milk ejection. Oxytocin also promotes trust and emotional connections, influencing empathy and relationship maintenance. Its therapeutic potential in mental health, such as anxiety and depression, is under exploration, though more research is required to understand its mechanisms fully.
