Oxytocin pathway gene networks in the human brain
Abstract
Oxytocin is a neuropeptide involved in animal and human reproductive and social behavior. Three oxytocin signaling genes have been frequently implicated in human social behavior: OXT (structural gene for oxytocin), OXTR (oxytocin receptor), and CD38 (oxytocin secretion). Here, we characterized the distribution of OXT , OXTR , and CD38 mRNA across the human brain by creating voxel-by-voxel volumetric expression maps, and identified putative gene...
