    Description

    Oxytocin, a hormone released by the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN), enables neuroplasticity in the auditory cortex for maternal recognition of pup distress. This study continuously monitored the behavior of female virgin mice co-housed with an experienced mother and litter. To examine the behavioral events and neural activity patterns that lead to maternal behavior in virgin female mice,...

    Description

    The Upstate New York Infant Development Screening (Upstate KIDS) Study is a collaboration between the New York State Department of Health, University at Albany, and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The study includes information from over 5,034 mothers and their 6,171 children in New York State, excluding New York City, who were recruited...

    Description

    This study examined to what extent parental animals are intrinsically sensitive to neonatal vocalizations, or instead learn about vocal cues for parenting responses. In mice, naive virgins do not recognize the meaning of pup distress calls, but retrieve isolated pups to the nest following cohousing with a mother and litter. For this study, C57BL/6J virgin females were used in all experiments. The dataset...

    Description

    Oxytocin is a neuropeptide released in the central nervous system, which is involved in a wide range of behaviors including reproduction, parental care, and pair bonding. In addition, peripheral oxytocin is important for milk ejection during nursing and uterine contractions during labor. Oxytocin is produced mainly in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. This...
