Oxytocin’s developmental impact on the brain underscores its significance beyond immediate social behavior. Prenatal and early-life oxytocin signaling shapes neural circuits, with potential long-term effects on behavior. Variability in receptor expression between sexes and developmental stages adds complexity to its functional roles. Technological advancements, including fluorescent labeling and receptor-specific antibodies, enable precise mapping of oxytocin’s pathways, enhancing our understanding of its integration within neural circuits. These insights pave the way for exploring therapeutic applications in disorders involving social deficits, emphasizing oxytocin’s profound influence on neural development and plasticity.
