   Provides an explanation suitable for advanced high school students or early college students. 2-03

2. -09-02-08 Gene Connected to Partner Bonding (MSNBC News)
   "“Fifteen percent of the men carrying no 334 allele reported marital crisis, whereas 34 percent of the men carrying two copies of this allele reported marital crisis,” the researchers wrote."
   
   "More than 30 percent of the men who had at least one copy of 334 were unmarried, compared to 17 percent of the men who had no copies." 09-08

3. Love and Chemistry (PBS.org)
   "Young, a researcher at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University in Atlanta, studies the neurobiology that underlies pair bonds -- what nonscientists might call love."
   
   "In an essay in the journal Nature last month, he laid out evidence that scientists may soon be able to tie the emotion 'love' to a biochemical chain of events, and might someday even be able to develop drugs that enhance social bonding -- in much the same way that pharmaceuticals today can help regulate emotions like anxiety and depression."
   
   "In a study published in September in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science, Walum studied a version of the AVPR1A gene that codes for vasopressin receptors in men. He studied more than 1,000 Swedish men, and found that men who carried a particular variant of the gene were less likely to be married than men without the variant, were more likely to report a recent crisis in their marriage, and ranked lower on a scale of partner bonding that asked questions such as 'how often do you kiss your mate?' "
   
   "Now, Walum and his colleagues are studying whether there are similar relationships between oxytocin receptors and pair bonding in women -- a more difficult study, he says, because there are no genes with as straightforward a relationship to oxytocin receptors as the AVPR1A gene has to vasopressin receptors in males." 02-09
