Recent research has extended the role of the neurohormone oxytocin far beyond mating and bonding. Oxytocin now appears as a cornerstone that allows individuals to adapt their group interaction in a flexible, age and context-dependent manner. On the other hand, recent data showed that the cerebellum actually contributes to cognitive, emotional, and perceptual brain functions. Finally, both oxytocin and its receptors are present in the cerebellum, but this system remains poorly characterized.Here, we studied the effects of oxytocin-receptor (OXTR) activation on Purkinje cell activity in vitro an
