The Science of Relationships: A Look at OXTR and Oxytocin | SNPit #13


Listen Later

Love is in the air as we dive into the science behind relationships.

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of oxytocin, affectionately known as the "love hormone," and its connection to the OXTR gene.

Responsible for encoding the oxytocin receptor, this gene plays a crucial role in shaping our social bonds, empathy levels, and even cognitive abilities. We discuss groundbreaking research, including the 'happy marriage study,' which unveils intriguing insights into how our genetic variations may influence our relationship dynamics.

We uncover how oxytocin, influenced by the OXTR gene, extends beyond social bonding, playing a pivotal role in enhancing cognitive functions. Could our brain development be intricately tied to our social interactions?

Join us on this journey through the science of love and genetics.
