Previous studies have also suggested that the receptors may play a role in disorders such as autism, and that brain pathways involved in romantic relationships also play a part in drug addiction.
"It is intriguing," said Young, "to consider that individual differences in vasopressin receptors in humans might play a role in how differently people form relationships."
It is quite amazing that we have discovered that in some animals...the same gene that controls "love" also controls how much you like drugs (hrmm...) and autism... :-) I love the human body...amazing ain't we?
