- 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
To investigate the impact of social buffering on pain, the study team administered mild tail shocks to infant rat pups at postnatal day (PN) 8 or 12, with or without their mothers. They hypothesized that repeated exposure to shock would alter their inflammatory pain responses as adults when experienced between PN5 and 9 (pain sensitive period prior to functional maturation of the amygdala), whereas...
