Kelly Dumais听and听Alexa Veenema听published a paper in the journal听Psychoneuroendocrinology听entitled "." This is the first study exploring the concomitant dynamics between the oxytocin receptor and oxytocin release in a single brain region and revealing higher oxytocin receptor binding and higher oxytocin release during social recognition in male rats compared to female rats. These findings emphasize the importance of studying both sexes in order to better understand the neurobiological basis of normal and impaired forms of social behavior. Posted 12/2/15.

Kelly Dumais听and听Alexa Veenema听published a book chapter in听听entitled "Presence and Absence of Sex Differences in Structure and Function of the Brain Oxytocin System: Implications for Understanding the Regulation of Social Behavior." This book provides a comprehensive examination of the current state of sex differences research, from both basic science and clinical research perspectives. Dumais and Veenema discuss, among other topics, that the reported sex differences in the brain oxytocin system are not ubiquitous, but appear to be highly species-specific and that actions of the oxytocin system on behavior and neuronal responses are often sex-specific, but do not necessarily correspond with sex differences in oxytocin and the oxytocin receptor in the brain.

Caroline Smith听and听Alexa Veenema听published a paper in the听Journal of Neuroendocrinology听entitled "." They demonstrate that social novelty-seeking in juvenile rats is facilitated by the opioid system in the brain, while dopamine, oxytocin, or vasopressin systems do not seem to be involved in mediating this behavior. This finding is relevant because impaired social novelty-seeking is characteristic for autistic children, which may hamper their development of social skills. The next step will be to localize the effects of the opioid system to specific brain regions and neural circuits. Posted 7/31/15.
