Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In specific vole and primate species the neuropeptide oxytocin plays a central role in the regulation of pair-bonding behavior. Here we investigate the extent to which genetic variants in the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) are associated with pair-bonding and related social behaviors in humans. METHODS: We first genotyped twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TOSS (Twin and Offspring...
