The Power of the Oxytocin Response
1:11:07 - 1:20:26 (09:19)
The oxytocin gene plays a significant role in regulating the amount and function of oxytocin, a hormone linked to autonomic bonding. Variants in the oxytocin system have been associated with autism, and there are two separate pathways by which oxytocin can affect individuals.

Summary
The oxytocin system is associated with a wide range of behaviors, including autism and autism spectrum disorders. Oxytocin can be regulated through two separate pathways, and sexual stimulation triggers the release of a different molecule, vasopressin, in males.

Summary
MDMA consumption elevates oxytocin levels which leads to a stronger feeling of connection and kinship with others, even if only one person experiences the oxytocin response. This autonomic bonding is further increased with behaviors that can enhance oxytocin levels such as touch.

Summary
This podcast discusses the role of oxytocin in human bonding and variations in oxytocin gene polymorphisms that can affect an individual's capacity to feel bonded to others. The episode also mentions a study published in the journal Helion that explains how the oxytocin gene encodes oxytocin and its variants change the amount and function of oxytocin.
