Genetic Imaging of the Association of Oxytocin Receptor Gene (OXTR) Polymorphisms with Positive Maternal Parenting

Genetic Imaging of the Association of Oxytocin Receptor Gene (OXTR) Polymorphisms with Positive Maternal Parenting

Background: Well-validated models of maternal behavior in small-brain mammals posit a central role of oxytocin in parenting, by reducing stress and enhancing the reward value of social interactions with offspring. In contrast, human studies are only beginning to gain insights into how oxytocin modul...
