    Description

    This dataset includes video recordings of the behavior of virgin mice with dams and pups and single cell recordings from the left paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus of virgin mice. The associated study examined neural activation related to the acquisition of pup retrieval behavior as virgin mice were enlisted in maternal care by experienced mothers. In the study, C57B1/6 virgin female mice were...

    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

    Cortical inhibitory and excitatory inputs are initially mismatched, but become balanced with experience during development. However, how excitatory-inhibitory balance is defined at most synapses, or the mechanisms for maintaining this balance at specific set-points is still unclear. This study demonstrated how coordinated long-term plasticity calibrates populations of excitatory/inhibitory inputs onto...

    Description

    Cochlear implant use require neuroplasticity within the central auditory system. Despite extensive studies on how cochlear implants activate the auditory system, understanding of cochlear implant-related neuroplasticity remains unknown. This study investigated behavioral responses and neural activity in locus coeruleus and auditory cortex of deafened rats fitted with multi-channel cochlear implants....

    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...
