Thinking and doing: the effects of dopamine and oxytocin genes and executive function on mothering behaviours.

Genes, brain, and behavior - 1 Feb 2017

Tombeau Cost K, Unternaehrer E, Plamondon A, Steiner M, Meaney M, Atkinson L, Kennedy J L, Fleming A S

Abstract excerpt

Animal and human studies suggest that initial expression of maternal behaviour depends on oxytocin and dopamine systems. However, the mechanism by which these systems affect parenting behaviours and the timing of these effects are not well understood. This article explores the role of mothers' executive function in mediating the relation between oxytocin and dopamine gene variants and maternal responsiveness at...
