Thus, we propose that future studies directed at dissecting the role of the intra and extrahypothalamic circuits in regulating the OXT system and modulating social behaviors will enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of function of the OXT system, and that investigating the impact of NDD‐associated mutation on the OXT system has the potential to uncover new pathophysiology that could be underlying social behavior deficits. Here, OXT is linked to Neurodevelopmental delay.
