Abstrakt: This is the story of my 50-year career in medicine and research, and the people who influenced and helped me most along the way. I recount the way in which I became interested in oxytocin early in my career as a child psychiatrist, and how it led me back to Columbia University, my alma mater, to study oxytocin's role in mother-child innate behaviors. I recount how oxytocin/oxytocin receptor signaling was central to my basic and clinical research and present a new theory on mother-infant emotional behaviors that challenges 400 years of brain-centric science. My history underscores the important and unique perspective women bring to science and why women are especially needed in the sciences. I hope to inspire young women (and young men) who are beginning their careers in research.
