文摘
- •
We compare whole brain gene expression between social and non-social fish species.
- •
We sequence and measure isotocin, arginine vasotocin, and their receptors.
- •
No consistent patterns in gene expression between social and non-social species.
- •
Phylogenetic analyses of isotocin receptors reveal that the two receptors are paralogues.
