Here's a LLM generated diagram of the feedback loop described here:
Astrocytes mediate a positive feedback loop for oxytocin https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.02.699227v1 It's not hard to register the feedback from Figure 4 I in the paper. But there's something about schematic diagrams that I like better than those cartoons my biology-oriented friends prefer. Just in case your markdown renderer handles mermaid differently, I've attached a screenshot from obsidian. ```mermaid graph TD A[Oxytocin Release] --> B[Astrocytes in Hypothalamus] B -->|Sense Oxytocin| C[Astrocytes Activate] C -->|Prompt Neurons| D[Increased Oxytocin Production] D --> A C -->|Enhanced ALDH1A1 Expression| E[Retinoic Acid Synthesis] E -->|Mediates| D ``` -- ¡sıɹƎ ןıɐH ⊥ ɐןןǝdoɹ ǝ uǝןƃ ὅτε oi μὲν ἄλλοι κύνες τοὺς ἐχϑροὺς δάκνουσιν, ἐγὰ δὲ τοὺς φίλους, ἵνα σώσω.
