Abstract excerpt
Centrally administered oxytocin has been reported to facilitate affiliative and social behaviours, in functional harmony with its well-known peripheral effects on uterine contraction and milk ejection. The biological effects of oxytocin could be perturbed by mutations occurring in the sequence of...
