Oxytocin increases retention of social cognition in autism. (2007, result): “Other research by Choleris et al (2003) ielded similar results with female mice lacking the oxytocin ene.”
Oxytocin: the Great Facilitator of Life (2009, neutral): “Specifically, ERa, ERb, and Oxt KO mice all have very similar deficits in social recognition on the habituation– dishabituation test, with all three KO lines failing to habituate to a 'familiar' animal or dishabituate with a 'novel' animal (Choleris et al., 2003).”
25 Oxytocin and Vasopressin: Genetics and Behavioral Implications (2006, background): “, 2000), and comparisons between OTKO and estrogen receptor alpha and beta KO mice suggest the effects of OT on social recognition are gonadal‐steroid‐dependent (Choleris et al., 2003).”
Involvement of estrogen receptor α, β and oxytocin in social discrimination: a detailed behavioral analysis with knockout female mice (2006, methodology): “…5: 528–539 537 males than females (Insel et al. 1999) and the masculinization of the brain of female autistic patients (Baron-Cohen 2002) is consistent with previous (Choleris et al. 2003) and current mice data suggesting estrogen control on the OT system in its mediation of individual recognition.”
The Challenge of Translation in Social Neuroscience: A Review of Oxytocin, Vasopressin, and Affiliative Behavior (2010, background): “As in nonmammals, many of the effects are species specific, some are gender specific, and nearly all are dependent on gonadal steroids (see, for instance, Choleris et al., 2003).”
Neuropeptidergic regulation of affiliative behavior and social bonding in animals. (2006, background): “2A) (Choleris et al., 2003; Ferguson et al., 2000).”
