Natural variation in oxytocin receptor signaling causes widespread changes in brain transcription: a link to the natural killer gene complex

2023-10-28

Abstract excerpt

Oxytocin (OXT) is a highly conserved neuropeptide that modulates social cognition, and genetic variation in its receptor gene ( Oxtr ) is linked to divergent social phenotypes. However, the molecular mechanisms connecting Oxtr genotype to behavioral outcomes remain obscure. Here, we leverage naturally occurring Oxtr polymorphisms in the prairie vole that associate with striatal-specific OXTR density to investig...
