Oxytocin (OT) is a small (nine amino acid) peptide, synthesized primarily in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus. Classically associated with functions such as birth and lactation, OT can also influence social behavior, the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and may have a role in the regulation of neural development.
