Mapping the cellular basis of species differences in oxytocin and dopamine receptor expression in the vole nucleus accumbens

Scientific Reports
Oxytocin (Oxtr) and dopamine (Drd1, Drd2) receptors provide a canonical example for how differences in neuromodulatory receptors drive individual and species-level behavioral variation. These systems exhibit striking and functionally relevant differences

Identification of subpopulations of prairie voles differentially susceptible to peer influence to decrease high alcohol intake

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
Peer influences are critical in the decrease of alcohol (ethanol) abuse and maintenance of abstinence. We previously developed an animal model of inhibitory peer influences on ethanol drinking using prairie voles and here sought to understand whether ...

Parental rearing shapes brain functional networks and socio-sexual behaviours in the prairie vole [PDF]

Open Biology
Animal models with natural variation in family structure, like the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster), offer valuable insight into how parental care shapes offspring behaviour. While prior studies have linked early care to long-term behavioural outcomes,

Bank vole genomics links determinate and indeterminate growth of teeth

BMC Genomics
Background Continuously growing teeth are an important innovation in mammalian evolution, yet genetic regulation of continuous growth by stem cells remains incompletely understood.

Structural connectivity of the fore- and mid-brain in prairie voles

iScience
Mammals live in complex social systems that require higher order cognition to process and display complex social behaviors. It is suggested that brain networks, such as the social decision-making network (SDMN), have evolved to process such information.
