Additional information

<28> This paper, in the top journal in computational biology, documents the first computational model to link oxytocin (“trust” hormone) release, single neuronal activity and network activity. This research is the result of collaboration with internationally leading experimental groups, funded by the EU and the EPSRC. The results were reported worldwide (including BBC News, Washington Post, Scientific American, Reuters) and offer further proof that breastfeeding promotes the maternal bond through a biochemical process. The paper has been downloaded over 8,700 times, and has impacted on work on drug addiction (McGregor, Sydney), maternal stress (Brunton, Edinburgh) and understanding hypothalamic neurons (Dyball, Cambridge).
