Cross-Species BAC Transgenesis Reveals Long-Range Regulation Drives Variation in Brain Oxytocin Receptor Expression and Social Behaviors
Although oxytocin (OXT) exhibits a highly conserved neuroanatomical pattern among vertebrates, the distribution of OXT receptor (OXTR) in brain varies considerably across species and is associated with species-typical social behavior.
