    Glossary Oxytocin

    hormone that promotes social bonding and childbirth processes

    Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland, often referred to as the "love hormone" because it plays a key role in social bonding, sexual reproduction, and during and after childbirth. It helps facilitate childbirth by stimulating uterine contractions and promotes lactation by moving milk into the breast. Additionally, oxytocin is involved in behaviors such as trust, empathy, and relationship-building.
