Neural circuitry of mouse mothers to pups’ calls deciphered
The neural circuitry underlying the responses of mouse mothers to calls from their pups has now been studied by researchers. The results were published in Nature. This mechanism may be important for sustaining mouse maternal care over time, the authors suggest. The hormone oxytocin is known to be important for maternal physiology and behaviour; for example,…
