Distribution of vasopressin and oxytocin binding sites in the brain and upper spinal cord of the common marmoset

“However, the dense OXTR binding seen in the NAcc of the common marmoset (30) makes marmosets a particularly appropriate choice for exploring the role of OT in social reward, which would complement recent discoveries in mice (25).”

“Nevertheless, before these pharmacological limitations were fully understood, these radioligands (as well as the older tritiated versions of the endogenous neuropeptides themselves) were used for receptor autoradiography in three primate species: in the common marmoset for OXTR and AVPR1a (29,30), in the rhesus macaque for AVPR1a (31), and in human for OXTR and AVPR1a (32,33).”

“For example, the highly social and selectively breeding marmoset has dense OXTR in the NAcc (Fig. 3a) similar to that of the prairie vole (30,85).”

“Interestingly, other monogamous species, including common marmosets and the California mouse (Peromyscus californicus) also have similarly high levels of V1aR in this ventral forebrain region compared to related non-monogamous species [17, 22].”

In the citing paper

“Females in non-monogamous vole species as well as mice, display very low or no OTR binding in the NAcc, while the monogamous common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has high densities of OTR in this region much like the prairie vole [17].”

“Females in non-monogamous vole species as well as mice, display very low or no OTR binding in the NAcc, while the monogamous common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has high densities of OTR in this region much like the prairie vole [17].”

In the citing paper

“AVPR1a is densely expressed in the ventral pallidum and OXTR in the nucleus accumbens of monogamous marmosets (Wang et al. 1997; Schorscher-Petcu et al. 2009).”

“Thus, much of what is known about OTR and V1aR density and distribution in the primate brain (Loup et al., 1991, 1989; Schorscher-Petcu et al., 2009; Wang et al., 1997b; Young et al., 1999) should be cautiously evaluated in light of the limitations of radioligands utilized for receptor autoradiography in primates.”

In the citing paper

“In particular, Callithrix has dense OTR expression in the NAcc (Schorscher-Petcu et al., 2009).”

In the citing paper

“Callithrix show dense binding for V1aR in the NTS and OB, with moderate binding in the NBM; V1aR binding for the SC or V1 was not reported (Schorscher-Petcu et al., 2009; Wang et al., 1997b).”

In the citing paper

“The ability of OT agonists to displace labeled AVP receptor antagonists in Callithrix (Schorscher-Petcu et al., 2009) provides a hint that cross-talk is a likely possibility in NWM.”

In the citing paper

“While AVP immunereactive cells were found in several brain regions of the social behavior network (Wang et al., 1997a,b; Schorscher-Petcu et al., 2009), only the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSNT) was found to be sexually dimorphic, with male marmosets expressing more AVP+ neurons than females (Wang et al., 1997a).”
