Gene transfer enhances pair bonding in monogamous voles

Researchers used gene transfer to increase vasopressin receptor density in the ventral pallidum of prairie voles, leading to increased pair bonding. The study shows that higher levels of vasopressin receptor expression are associated with more affiliative behavior and stronger pair bonds.

Social behavior transformed with one new gene

Scientists at Emory University create transgenic mice with a prairie vole vasopressin receptor gene, showing increased social behavior and adopting gregarious behaviors. The study provides an explanation for the species difference in receptor distribution and its impact on social behavior.
