Heritability and relationship of oxytocin receptor gene variants with social behavior and central oxytocin in colony-reared adult female rhesus macaques
2019-10-21
Abstract excerpt
The genetic contributions to sociality are an important research focus for understanding individual variation in social function and risk of social deficits in neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. autism). The neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) and its receptor, OXTR, influence social behavior across species. In humans and animals, common variants within the OXTR gene ( OXTR ) have been associated with varying socio-behav...
