• Oxytocin and the neural mechanisms regulating social cognition and affiliative behavior. (2009, background): “When tested for pup retrieval, OTRKO dams display longer latencies to retrieve the pups and spend less time crouching over their pups [15].”
• Neuropeptidergic regulation of affiliative behavior and social bonding in animals. (2006, background): “More recent studies of OTR knockout mice reveal pervasive social deficits including spontaneous and parturient maternal nurturing of pups (Takayanagi et al., 2005).”
• Oxytocin receptor genetic variation relates to empathy and stress reactivity in humans (2009, background): “Interestingly, OXTR knockout mice display a variety of aberrant social and emotional behaviors, including increased aggression and deficits in nurturing and social memory (21, 22), that are in keeping with the two hypothesized functions of oxytocin tested here.”
• Gut microbiota depletion from early adolescence in mice: Implications for brain and behaviour. (2015, background): “The role of vasopressin and oxytocin in social memory are well established (Gabor et al., 2012; Takayanagi et al., 2005; Skuse et al., 2014).”
