Social investigation in a memory task relates to natural variation in septal expression of oxytocin receptor and vasopressin receptor 1a in prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster).

Abstract excerpt

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) influence social behavior and cognitive processes and may explain some of the variance associated with individual differences in behavior. Although great focus has been placed on the roles of these peptides in learning and memory, less attention has been given to the receptors to which they bind.
