Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus that stimulates uterine contractions during labor and milk ejection during breastfeeding. It is often called the "love hormone" because research shows it promotes social bonding, trust, and emotional attachment. This neuropeptide functions as both a hormone and a neurotransmitter, influencing various social behaviors and biological processes in laboratory studies.

The classification of oxytocin as a purely neurohypophyseal hormone is becoming increasingly obsolete as scientific knowledge advances. Current research suggests that Oxytocin functions more precisely as a multifaceted signal peptide with central and peripheral action.
