Grandmothers Needed for Research Study
09 June 2020
We are interested in examining the relationship between grandmaternal biology and grandmaternal behavior. Grandmothers will be asked to share information regarding their relationship with their grandchild and their mental health status. Grandmothers will complete a functional MRI scan and a brief behavioral task relating to their relationship with their grandchild. Furthermore, saliva samples will be collected to assess oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene expression and OXTR methylation.
