A CRISPR perspective of the oxytocin receptor in prairie voles.

The oxytocin receptor has long been considered critical for social bonding and parenting in prairie voles. In this issue of Neuron, Berendzen et al.1 show that oxytocin receptor-null prairie voles display normal bonding and parental behaviors, thus challenging the prevailing understanding of the receptor's role in these behaviors.
