## Abstract This review will focus on the activity of oxytocin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus (SON) and some factors that regulate their function during parturition and milk ejection in the rat. The level of oxytocin increases in the blood during parturition following a regression of the corpus

Changes of positive pressure exerted by pups on nipples during sucking were investigated using anesthetized, lactating dams. It was found that, every 50-60 s, individual pups performed bouts of pressure oscillations (3/s) of high amplitude which lasted about 10-12 s and coincided with periods of inc
## Abstract The hydroosmotic balance of the body is controlled by supraoptic nuclei and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamo‐posthypophyseal complex. In response to a physiological stimulation such as an osmotic stress, the supraoptic nuclei (SON) and the paraventricular nuclei undergo remarka
Under a number of circumstances the duration of mother-young contact in the rat can be drastically reduced while pup growth is maintained. We investigated the possibility that under some of these conditions the timing of milk delivery is changed. We assessed the time of onset and pattern of milk del
