Natural neural projection dynamics underlying social behavior. (2014, neutral): “In rodents, most studies on social behavior have focused on socio-sexual behaviors, such as pair bonding and behaviors related to sexual competition (Aragona et al., 2006; Curtis and Wang, 2005; Gingrich et al., 2000; Leypold et al., 2002; Liu and Wang, 2003; Young et al., 2001; Young and Wang, 2004”
The Vertebrate mesolimbic reward system and social behavior network: A comparative synthesis (2011, background): “During pairbond formation in monogamous female voles (Microtus ochrogaster), a process involving the mesolimbic reward system (Young and Wang, 2004), neuronal activity as measured by c-fos induction increases in the BNST (Curtis and Wang, 2003).”
The Neurobiology of Human Attachments. (2017, neutral): “Neural models for parental care in rats are indicated by broken black lines and for pair bonding formation in prairie voles by dotted black lines [10,19,80].”
Neuropeptidergic regulation of affiliative behavior and social bonding in animals. (2006, background): “…vole animal model of social attachment is complemented by the natural comparison of two other vole species, the non-monogamous montane and meadow voles (Microtus montanus and Microtus pennsylvanicus), in addition to the monogamous pine vole (Microtus pinetorum) (reviewed in Young and Wang, 2004).”
A lifespan perspective on attachment and care for others: Empathy, altruism, and prosocial behavior (2016, background): “…concern for others, as it has been implicated in attachment and pair bonding (Carter, 1998; Feldman, Weller, Zagoory-Sharon, & Levine, 2007; Young & Wang, 2004), parenting (Bakermans-Kranenburg & Van IJzendoorn, 2008; Feldman et al., 2012; Galbally, Lewis, Van IJzendoorn, & Permezel,…”
Lending a Hand (2006, neutral): “For example, the neuropeptides oxytocin and arginine vasopressin have emerged as important mediators of social affiliation (Kosfeld, Heinrichs, Zak, Fischbacher, & Fehr, 2005; Young & Wang, 2004 ), and receptors for both are found in a network of emotion-related cortical and subcortical structures ”
Sexual differentiation of the vertebrate nervous system (2004, background): “Sexual differentiation of the brain in adulthood Arginine vasopressin fibers innervate the septal region in rats and contribute to pair bonding and parental behavior in a variety of rodents (see accompanying revie”
Psychobiological Mechanisms Underlying the Social Buffering of the HPA Axis: A Review of Animal Models and Human Studies across Development (2013, background): “For instance, there is some evidence that AVP plays particular roles in prosocial behavior in males, and it has also been shown to mediate aggressive behaviors and territoriality in many species (Caldwell et al., 2008; Donaldson & Young, 2008; Young & Wang, 2004).”
Social bonds and posttraumatic stress disorder. (2008, background): “More recently, OT and AVP have been identified as essential chemical mediators of social bonding in animals (Insel 2003, Keverne & Curley 2004, Young & Wang 2004).”
Oxytocin, vasopressin, and human social behavior. (2009, background): “005 E D P R O O F studies have previously shown an association between the AVPR1a receptor gene and autism [90,143,156], as well as partner preference in the male prairie vole [165].”
The Fewer the Merrier?: Assessing Stigma Surrounding Consensually Non‐monogamous Romantic Relationships (2013, background): “Further, words such as “infidelity” and “adultery” are frequently used to describe CNM relationships; these terms, of course, discount the possibility that extradyadic relationships may have been agreed upon by both members of a couple (Finch, 2009; Young & Wang, 2004).”
