Hearing ability of prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster). [PDF]

J Acoust Soc Am, 2021
Hearing ability of mammals can be impacted by many factors including social cues, environment, and physical properties of animal morphology. Despite being used commonly to study social behaviors, the hearing ability of the monogamous prairie vole ...

Epigenetic aging studies of pair bonding in prairie voles. [PDF]

Sci Rep
The quality of romantic relationships can predict health consequences related to aging. DNA methylation-based biomarkers of aging accurately estimate chronological age.

Behavioral trajectories of aging prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster): Adapting behavior to social context wanes with advanced age.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Several studies using mice have examined the effects of aging on cognitive tasks, as well as sensory and motor functions. However, few studies have examined the influence of aging on social behavior.

Transcription and DNA methylation signatures of paternal behavior in hippocampal dentate gyrus of prairie voles. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2023
In socially monogamous prairie voles ( Microtus ochrogaster ), parental behaviors not only occur in mothers and fathers, but also exist in some virgin males.

Post-weaning Social Isolation in Male and Female Prairie Voles: Impacts on Central and Peripheral Immune System

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
The socially monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) offers a unique opportunity to examine the impacts of adolescent social isolation on the brain, immune system, and behavior.

Differences in auditory brainstem responses between laboratory-reared and wild-caught prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster). [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are a semi-fossorial rodent that are an emerging model in social neuroscience. Comparing laboratory-reared and wild-caught individuals is essential for understanding how environmental history shapes neural and sensory

Pair-bonding and social experience modulate new neurons survival in adult male and female prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster)

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022
Prairie voles are a socially monogamous species that, after cohabitation with mating, form enduring pair bonds. The plastic mechanisms involved in this social behavior are not well-understood.

Lasting consequences on physiology and social behavior following cesarean delivery in prairie voles. [PDF]

Horm Behav, 2023
Cesarean delivery is associated with diminished plasma levels of several ‘birth-signaling’ hormones, such as oxytocin and vasopressin. These same hormones have been previously shown to exert organizational effects when acting in early life.

A test of the social behavior network reveals differential patterns of neural responses to social novelty in bonded, but not non-bonded, male prairie voles. [PDF]

Horm Behav, 2023
The social behavior network (SBN) has provided a framework for understanding the neural control of social behavior. The original SBN hypothesis proposed this network modulates social behavior and should exhibit distinct patterns of neural activity across

Helping behavior in prairie voles: A model of empathy and the importance of oxytocin [PDF]

iScience, 2022
Summary: Several studies suggest that rodents show empathic responses and helping behavior toward others. We examined whether prairie voles would help conspecifics who were soaked in water by opening a door to a safe area.
