Article Synopsis
- The neurohormone oxytocin, known for its role in various physiological functions, operates through its receptor, which has alternative transcripts that could serve different biological purposes.
- Researchers studied prairie voles, a monogamous rodent model, to explore the presence of these alternative transcripts in their brain and uterine tissues, using advanced genetic techniques.
- They found seven distinct transcripts, showing that maternal oxytocin influences the expression of these transcripts and highlights the importance of epigenetic regulation during brain development in offspring, which may also impact models for understanding social behaviors in humans.
