Abstract excerpt

Oxytocin is a conserved neuropeptide that regulates social and reproductive behaviors in diverse species. Genetic variation in Oxtr, the gene encoding the oxytocin receptor (OXTR), is associated with variation in social attachment behaviors in rodents and humans; however, it is unclear how genetic variation in Oxtr shapes the function of specific neural systems during social contexts. Here we address this...
