Retracted: Sexual orientation, neuropsychiatric disorders and the neurotransmitters involved

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor in Chief of Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews after concerns were raised with respect to the phrasing of comparisons drawn between humans and animal models. These comparisons were deemed unsupportable, and thus in the best interests of publication standards the Editor has concluded it is necessary to retract the paper. The authors disagree with the reason for the retraction.

Keywords: Dopamine; GABA; Neuropsychiatric disorders; Neurotransmitters; Oxytocin; Serotonin; Sexual fluidity; Sexual orientation.
