Does Oxytocin induce the primal instincts required for sucessful reproduction?

Clinical Studies

In order to determine the functions for which OXT is required, gene targeting has been used to eliminate OXT in mice (40, 41).

However, the pups die within 24 hours because they are unable to obtain milk from the dams.

Oxytocin injections into the dams restores successful suckling by the pups.

Human Social Bonding

Orgasm during sexual interaction increases the concentration of Oxytocin hormones significantly.

Bonding with animals in the household gives parents longer lifespans.

Strong bond between mother and child is formed during labor, in which the mother dedicates it's life to the survival of it's offspring.

Deprievation of oxytocin debilitate the ability to bond

Oxytocin levels are shown to be increasing during intimate times between mating partners.

Oxytocin BG

Neurotransmitter hormone produced in the hypothalamus

Induce's labor

Oxytocin is dopamine’s partner, the emotional binding agent that teaches you to trust and reduces fear.

Oxytocin acts as a chemical addiction in the human body

Reproductive Instincts

Oxytocin drops the milk into the passageway leading from the milk gland to the nipple's outer layer.

Without, offspring would have absolutely no way to nourish themselves in the first few hours on planet Earth.

Oxytocin provides all maternal instincts required for a successful upbringing.

Deprievation of Oxytocin leads to ignorance of offspring and inevitable death.

Bonding between offspring and mother is created.

Mother dedicates it's time to feeding the offspring.

Why do all mammals have the need to reproduce?

Is it due to the oxytocin itself?
