| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As a genome-wide analysis of genes relating empathetic behavior, we prepared a behavioral model of affection transmission in chickens, and created a list of genes that expressions in the brain were correlated with behavioral scores.We analyzed individual differences in candidate genes that have been reported in humans, such as receptors for oxytocin and vasopressin, and found that genotypes affect empathy across species. With regard to the evolution of empathetic behavior, we have found genes involved in species differences and regional differences in carnivorous and primates. Furthermore, we found the influence of kin relationship on empathetic behavior.
