Cross-Species BAC Transgenesis Reveals Long-Range Regulation Drives Variation in Brain Oxytocin Receptor Expression and Social Behaviors

2022-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Although oxytocin (OXT) exhibits a highly conserved neuroanatomical pattern among vertebrates, the distribution of OXT receptor (OXTR) in brain varies considerably across species and is associated with species-typical social behavior. To investigate the genomic basis of the phylogenetic plasticity in brain Oxtr expression and its social behavioral consequences, we generated transgenic mice carrying a bacteria art...
