Papers
Oxytocin, vasopressin, and the neurogenetics of sociality.
Zoe R. Donaldson,Larry J. Young +1 more
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that the neuropeptides oxytocin and vasopressin modulate complex social behavior and social cognition and suggest that variation in the genes encoding their receptors may contribute to variation in human social behavior by altering brain function.

Jennifer N. Ferguson,Larry J. Young,Elizabeth F. Hearn,Martin M. Matzuk,Thomas R. Insel,James T. Winslow +5 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that OT is necessary for the normal development of social memory in mice and support the hypothesis that social memory has a neural basis distinct from other forms of memory.
