Oxytocin receptor activation does not mediate associative fear deficits in a Williams Syndrome model

2021-03-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Williams Syndrome is caused by a deletion of 26-28 genes on chromosome 7q11.23. Patients with this disorder have distinct behavioral phenotypes including learning deficits, anxiety, increased phobias, and hypersociability. Some studies also suggest elevated blood oxytocin and altered oxytocin receptor expression, and this oxytocin dysregulation is hypothesized to be involved in the underlying me...
