I had pitocin with my first (C-section) I always wonder how her extended somnalence and hypoactivity (brief) after the birth was secondary to the drugs.<br /><br />The drug is synthetic and a patented pharmaceutical. It's not the same chemically as what we make therefore the side effects, neg/positive feedback loops are all vastly different that what we endogenously produce.<br /><br />Read:<br />http://chriskresser.com/natural-childbirth-vi-pitocin-side-effects-and-risksDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-65872912553813554682012-01-21T17:42:41.185-08:002012-01-21T17:42:41.185-08:00You write eloquently about oxytocin.

To me it means writhing in agony for three days after delivering my babies as the medics kept insisting on doping me up on it to help the contraction of the uterus. I never knew whether my body would do it naturally as it was never given a chance - oxytocin was given routinely and thou shalt never question the doctors.

I can't read your blog but I should try to google translator (as my kids use that for their Chinese homework)! Would love to hear more of your thoughts later. Miller is on my radar -- that book is definitely on my list but I'm moving through Sapolsky and some other evo stuff.<br /><br />Professor Steven Platek is one of the editors of Frontiers of Evo Neuroscience where the Schulkin and Campbell et al papers were published. He is paleo and owns a xfit gym. You might like the journal...<br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/929/<br /><br />I love 'appetizers'!!

I may even get some footnotes from your post here, thanks.<br /><br />Have you read Mating Mind (2000) by Geoffrey Miller? It's a great treatise about sexual selection on social evolutionary psychology front. Some really fresh ideas and critique there, as well as being a real delight to read, very entertaining.

Have you read Sapolsky on primates and other animals? For population control, hormones are secreted in the urine of male and female rats which effectively can delay or accelerate puberty in female 'teenage' rats. It is absolutely arresting how canines and rodents control breeding within their groups... pheromones and subtle/not-so-subtle chemical clues in piss! Sapolsky also talks about the hormone signature varying depending on resources from 'opportunistic' versus 'stable'.<br /><br />In our human growth curve, where are we? Are we like cockroaches or canines? Actually I don't think our social brain cares right now.<br /><br />-GDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-87220165224242802372011-11-11T00:33:31.139-08:002011-11-11T00:33:31.139-08:00The "social brain" hypothesis got a boos...The "social brain" hypothesis got a boost this year with the publication of this paper:<br /><br />Brain Behav Evol. 2011;77(2):91-104.
