Cardiac regulation in the socially monogamous prairie vole [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiology & Behavior, 2007
Social experiences, both positive and negative, may influence cardiovascular regulation. Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are socially monogamous rodents that form social bonds similar to those seen in primates, and this species may provide a useful model for investigating neural and social regulation of cardiac function. Cardiac regulation has not

A genetic linkage map and comparative mapping of the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) genome

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2011
Background The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is an emerging rodent model for investigating the genetics, evolution and molecular mechanisms of social behavior. Though a karyotype for the prairie vole has been reported and low-resolution comparative

Plasticity in parental behavior and vasopressin: responses to co-parenting, pup age, and an acute stressor are experience-dependent

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionThe impact of variation in parental caregiving has lasting implications for the development of offspring. However, the ways in which parents impact each other in the context of caregiving is comparatively less understood, but can account for ...

Limosilactobacillus reuteri administration alters the gut-brain-behavior axis in a sex-dependent manner in socially monogamous prairie voles

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Research on the role of gut microbiota in behavior has grown dramatically. The probiotic L. reuteri can alter social and stress-related behaviors – yet, the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown.
