Longitudinal Trajectories and Inter-parental Dynamics of Prairie Vole Biparental Care [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 For altricial mammalian species, early life social bonds are constructed principally between offspring and their mothers, and the mother-offspring relationship sets the trajectory for offspring bio-behavioral development. In the rare subset of monogamous

Lactobacilli with probiotic potential in the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) [PDF]
Gut Pathogens, 2015 Recent research suggests integration of the intestinal microbiota in gut-brain communication which could lead to new approaches to treat neurological disorders. The highly social prairie voles are an excellent model system to study the effects of environmental factors on social behavior.

Maturation of Social-Vocal Communication in Prairie Vole (Microtus ochrogaster) Pups [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 Impairments in social communication are common among neurodevelopmental disorders. While traditional animal models have advanced our understanding of the physiological and pathological development of social behavior, they do not recapitulate some aspects

Hereditary convulsions in an outbred prairie vole line. [PDF]
Epilepsy Res, 2023 Patients with epilepsy are significantly burdened by the disease due to long-term health risks, the severe side effect profiles of anti-epileptic drugs, and the strong possibility of pharmacoresistant refractory seizures. New animal models of epilepsy with unique characteristics promise to further research to address these ongoing problems.

The central oxytocinergic system of the prairie vole. [PDF]
Brain Struct FunctAbstractOxytocin (OXT) is a peptide hormone and a neuropeptide that regulates various peripheral physiological processes and modulates behavioral responses in the central nervous system. While the humoral release occurs from the axons arriving at the median eminence, the neuropeptide is also released from oxytocinergic cell axons in various brain ...
