CENTRAL VASOPRESSIN RECEPTORS AND SOCIAL ATTACHMENT

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 这是杨博士的职业发展项目。 Larry J. Young是精神病学和行为科学系的William P. Timmie教授，也是Yerkes行为神经科学部的主任。在他的职业生涯中，杨博士对行为背后的分子和神经机制有着浓厚的兴趣。在本报告所述期间，杨博士继续扩大其研究领域。 他与Mark Goodman博士合作开发催产素受体的PET配体。 他发明了一种培育转基因田鼠的方法。 他还与几位同事合作，并为与神经内分泌学和社会行为遗传学相关的几项重要发现做出了贡献。 杨博士最近在埃默里大学建立了转化社会神经科学中心和耶基斯国家灵长类动物研究中心。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. This is a career development project for Dr. Young. Larry J. Young is William P. Timmie Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and Division Chief of the Behavioral Neuroscience Division at Yerkes. Throughout his career, Dr. Young has had a strong interest in the molecular and neural mechanisms underlying behavior. During the reporting period, Dr. Young has continued to expand his area of research. He has initiated collaboration with Dr. Mark Goodman to develop PET ligands for the oxytocin receptor. He has developed a method for developing transgenic voles. He has also collaborated with several colleagues and contributed to several important discoveries related to the neuroendocrinology and genetics of social behavior. Dr. Young recently established the Center for Translational Social Neuroscience at Emory University and the Yerkes national Primate Research Center.
