The neuroendocrinology of primate maternal behavior [PDF]

open access: yesProgress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 2011
In nonhuman primates and humans, similar to other mammals, hormones are not strictly necessary for the expression of maternal behavior, but nevertheless influence variation in maternal responsiveness and parental behavior both within and between individuals. A growing number of correlational and experimental studies have indicated that high circulating

Cholecystokinin Modulation of Maternal Behavior. [PDF]

open access: yesPsychology & Neuroscience, 2013
behavior is regulated by several neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and hormones. This mini-review focuses on the role of cholecystokinin (CCK), a neuropeptide and gut hormone best known as a satiety signal, in mediating maternal behavior. In addition to the role of CCK in the infant in mother-infant interactions, maternal CCK appears to also be ...

Characterizing the Brain Structural Adaptations Across the Motherhood Transition

open access: yesFrontiers in Global Women's Health, 2021
Women that become mothers face notable physiological adaptations during this life-period. Neuroimaging studies of the last decade have provided grounded evidence that women's brains structurally change across the transition into motherhood.

Diary reports of concerns in mothers of infant siblings of children with autism across the first year of life [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We examined the home-based concerns reported by mothers of infant siblings of children with autism across the first year of life. At all three ages measured, mothers of high-risk infants were significantly more likely than mothers of low-risk infants to ...

Freezing suppression by oxytocin in central amygdala allows alternate defensive behaviours and mother-pup interactions

open access: yeseLife, 2017
When animals and their offspring are threatened, parents switch from self-defense to offspring protection. How self-defense is suppressed remains elusive. We postulated that suppression of the self-defense response, freezing, is gated via oxytocin acting

The longitudinal development of emotion regulation capacities in children at risk for externalizing disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The development of emotional regulation capacities in children at high versus low risk for externalizing disorder was examined in a longitudinal study investigating: a) whether disturbances in emotion regulation precede and predict the emergence of ...

Understanding the Loss of Maternal Care in Avian Brood Parasites Using Preoptic Area Transcriptome Comparisons in Brood Parasitic and Non-parasitic Blackbirds

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Parental care is critical for offspring survival in many species. However, parental behaviors have been lost in roughly 1% of avian species known as the obligate brood parasites.
