Oxytocin is a peptide whose molecular structure consists of nine amino acids released by the human posterior pituitary gland. The neurons that make oxytocin are similar to those that make vasopressin. Oxytocin has a role in various human behaviors. It is known as the "love hormone" because of its role in orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors.
