Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Oxytocin was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Oxytocin.

    In the rat supraoptic nucleus in vivo, oxytocin cells and vasopressin cells differed in mutual information between adjacent log intervals.

    In plain wordsIn rats, the firing pattern of oxytocin nerve cells differed from that of vasopressin cells.

    Summary · context
    We illustrate the methods by comparing extracellular recordings from magnocellular cells of the rat supraoptic nucleus in vivo and in vitro and between oxytocin and vasopressin cells in vivo.

    Summary
    When a comparison was made between the spike activity of oxytocin and vasopressin cells recorded in vivo, there was a difference in mutual information (z = 5.15, P < 0.001) but not in mean spike frequency.
