Synchronisation of Bursting in Hypothalamic Oxytocin Neurones: Possible Coordinating Mechanisms

JB Wakerley and CD Ingram

Hypothalamic oxytocin neurones exhibit periodic synchronous bursting during suckling. This involves simultaneous excitation from an afferent pacemaker, coordinating mechanisms acting both within and between the magnocellular nuclei, and intrinsic properties of the oxytocin cells. Centrally released oxytocin facilitates bursting, acting both within the magnocellular nuclei and at limbic sites.
