The contributions of oxytocin and vasopressin pathway genes to human behavior.

Hormones and behavior - 1 Mar 2012

Ebstein Richard P, Knafo Ariel, Mankuta David, Chew Soo Hong, Lai Poh San

Abstract excerpt

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT) are social hormones and mediate affiliative behaviors in mammals and as recently demonstrated, also in humans. There is intense interest in how these simple nonapeptides mediate normal and abnormal behavior, especially regarding disorders of the social brain such as autism that are characterized by deficits in social communication and social skills. The current review...
