This study shows that oxytocin neurons in the paraventricular and supraoptic hypothalamic nuclei have opposing effects on food intake, with PVH neurons reducing meal size and SON neurons increasing it.

This study shows that oxytocin signaling in the dorsal hippocampus promotes prosocial eating in rats by enhancing food consumption with familiar conspecifics and facilitating social transmission of food preference.
