Coevolution of Composite‐Tool Technology, Constructive Memory, and Language (2010, background): “Related research shows that certain hormones can influence trust, reciprocity, generosity, and social attachment (Donaldson and Young 2008; Dunbar 2010; Walum et al. 2008; Zak, Kurzban, and Matzner 2005; Zak, Stanton, and Ahmadi 2007; Zak et al. 2005), all of which are essential for establishing…”
The placebo effect: From concepts to genes. (2015, neutral): “The brain distribution of oxytocin receptors overlaps with those of arginine vasopressin (Donaldson and Young, 2008; Kogan et al., 2011).”
Evoked axonal oxytocin release in the central amygdala attenuates fear response. (2012, neutral): “…anatomical findings now open the technical prospect for studying the effects of endogenous OT release in various brain regions with respect to distinct forms of social behavior (Landgraf and Neumann, 2004; Ludwig and Leng, 2006; Donaldson and Young, 2008; Lee et al., 2009; Ross and Young, 2009).”
Epigenetics and the biological definition of gene x environment interactions. (2010, background): “The studies of Young and colleagues (Donaldson & Young, 2008; Hammock & Young, 2005) on the sequence variation in the vasopressin 1A receptor gene provide an excellent example.”
Microbial reconstitution reverses maternal diet-induced social and synaptic deficits in offspring (2016, neutral): “L. reuteri has been shown to promote oxytocin levels (Pouta- hidis et al., 2013), a hormone that plays a crucial role in social behaviors (Donaldson and Young, 2008).”
Psychobiological Mechanisms Underlying the Social Buffering of the HPA Axis: A Review of Animal Models and Human Studies across Development (2013, background): “These neuropeptides have been strongly conserved throughout evolution and play similar roles in social behavior and reproduction across vertebrates (Donaldson & Young, 2008), but they have also been linked to complex social behaviors that are primarily observed in humans, such as altruism, trust,…”
The peptide that binds: a systematic review of oxytocin and its prosocial effects in humans. (2010, background): “As such, this focused review has not adequately addressed a large number of topics, including: (1) studies of oxytocin plasma levels, (2) details of the complex physiology of the oxytocin system, (3) interactions between oxytocin and other neurotransmitter and hormonal systems, (4) oxytocin’s role i”
The Happenstance Learning Theory (2009, background): “Some fascinating research is beginning to unravel the connections between genetic variation, brain function, and social behavior ( Donaldson & Young, 2008; Robinson, Fernald, & Clayton, 2008).”
Oxytocin receptor genetic variation relates to empathy and stress reactivity in humans (2009, background): “Oxytocin also appears to modulate broad profiles of social and emotional behaviors in both males and females (5, 6).”
Toward a Model for Assessing Level of Personality Functioning in DSM–5, Part I: A Review of Theory and Methods (2011, background): “…& Siever, 2010), and variation in the encoding of receptors for these neuropeptides could contribute to variation in complex human social behavior and social cognition, such as trust, altruism, social bonding, and the ability to infer the emotional state of others (Donaldson & Young, 2008).”
The Biology of Paternal Care in Human and Nonhuman Primates (2009, background): “Thus far, they have focused on the potential role of the distribution and quantity of neural receptors for vasopressin (Donaldson & Young 2008, Walum et al. 2008).”
Social Cognitive Neuroscience of Empathy: Concepts, Circuits, and Genes (2012, background): “Two prime examples of target molecules in social neurogenetics are the evolutionary old neuropeptides, oxytocin and vasopressin (Donaldson & Young, 2008; Insel, 2010).”
