Gene expression correlates of social evolution in coral reef butterflyfishes

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Lauren A. O'Connell and collaborators from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland, Australia have published the paper: Gene expression correlates of social evolution in coral reef butterflyfishes, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 06/08/2022
• what: The authors focused on oxytocin(OTR), vasopressin- (V1aR), dopaminergic- (D1R, D2R) and mu-opioid- (MOR) receptor gene_expression within eight brain regions of the vertebrate social decision-making network , facilitating comparisons to mammals.
• future: Future studies should now examine whether these systems have also converged with rodents functionally . . .
