Region-specific associations between sex, social status, and oxytocin receptor density in the brains of eusocial rodents

Highlights • Male naked mole-rats exhibited higher OTR density than females in the medial amygdala. • Breeding males tended to have higher OTR density than breeding females in the nucleus accumbens. • OTR distribution patterns may contribute to species-specific adaptations in social behavior.
