The brain oxytocin and corticotropin-releasing factor systems in grieving mothers: What we know and what we need to learn.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence for the involvement of the brain oxytocin (OXT) and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) systems, which both play a role in maternal behavior and the stress response, in the neurobiology of grief in mothers.

TL;DR: Results show that the genetic susceptibility index predicts a wider range of self-expression outcomes than what is predicted by individual polymorphisms, underscore the importance of developing biologically and functionally informed models of genetic influence and demonstrates a model for examining the effects of multiple genes simultaneously.

The role of the Oxytocin-Neurophysin I gene in contributing to human personality traits promoting sociality.

TL;DR: It is indicated that variants of the OXT-Neurophysin-I gene resonate with phenotypes that foster positive social interactions, which may in turn facilitate the social regulation of stress responses.

A cognitive-affective system theory of personality: Reconceptualizing situations, dispositions, dynamics, and invariance in personality structure.

TL;DR: A theory was proposed to reconcile paradoxical findings on the invariance of personality and the variability of behavior across situations to account for individual differences in predictable patterns of variability across situations.
