Oxytocin receptor absence reduces selectivity in peer relationships and alters neurochemical release dynamics in prairie voles

2025-05-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Abstract/Summary</h4> Friendships, or selective peer relationships , are a vital component of healthy social functioning in humans, while deficits in these relationships are associated with negative physical and mental health consequences. Like humans, prairie voles are among the few mammalian species that form selective social bonds with both peers and mates, making them an excellent model for the mechanist...
