The Oxytocin Factor: Tapping the Hormone of Calm, Love, and Healing
In recent years there have been exciting scientific discoveries about a powerful hormone whose role in the human body has long been neglected Oxytocin is the hormone involved in bonding, sex, childbirth, and breast-feeding, as well as in relaxation and feelings of calm. It is the mirror image of the stress hormone (adrenaline), which triggers the "fight or flight" systems in the body. Much has been written about the latter but the many-sided importance of oxytocin is currently known only to specialists in obstetrics, physiology, and psychiatry. The Oxytocin Factor, by Dr. Kerstin Uvnäs-Moberg, is the first book on the subject for a general audience. The new research findings, as well as the potentially beneficial applications of this hormone in reducing anxiety states, stress, addictions, and problems of childbirth, are not only fascinating but of great significance to all our lives. .

The Chemistry of Connection: How the Oxytocin Response Can Help You Find Trust, Intimacy, and Love
When we make love, when we're stroked, when we pet an animal, and even when we spend time with close friends, our bodies respond by producing pulses of oxytocin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Oxytocin floods our bodies with feelings of connection, trust, and contentment. Researchers believe that this natural, powerful "love drug" plays an important role in all human social relationships. The Chemistry of Connection offers new information about how brain chemistry affects our platonic and intimate relationships and explains how oxytocin research can help us understand the psychological differences between men and women. But the book goes beyond detailing the biochemistry of love. Practical tips and guidance are offered to help readers increase their natural oxytocin levels in order to develop deep human connections, both with friends and with romantic partners. .

Advances in Vasopressin and Oxytocin - From Genes to Behaviour to Disease, Volume 170 (Progress in Brain Research) (Progress in Brain Research)
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. Comprehensive review of OXT and AVP physiology and behaviour Each chapter covers a novel aspect of OXT and AVP research and is written by a leading expert Review articles are ideal for experts and newcomers to the field alike Discusses fascinating behavioural effects of oxytocin and vasopressin Summarizes the recent explosion of neuropeptide research, physiology and behaviour, is in one location.

Roles of Vasopressin and Oxytocin in Memory Processing, Volume 50 (Advances in Pharmacology)
The Roles of Vasopressin and Oxytocin in Memory Processing reviews research progress in a subfield of Behavioral Pharmacology concerned with vasopressin's (VP's) and oxytocin (OT's) roles in memory processing (MP). As hormones, VP is well-known for its pressor and antidiuretic action, and OT for its contribution to parturition and nursing. As neurotransmitters, they participate in a wide variety of self- and species-preserving functions expressed at psychological, physiological and behavioral levels. Advances in Pharmacology is available online on ScienceDirect - full-text online of volumes 48 onwards. Elsevier book series on ScienceDirect gives multiple users throughout an institution simultaneous online access to an important compliment to primary research. Digital delivery ensures users reliable, 24-hour access to the latest peer-reviewed content.
