Resting state brain networks in the prairie vole [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) has shown the hierarchical organization of the human brain into large-scale complex networks, referred as resting state networks.

The role of early life experience and species differences in alcohol intake in microtine rodents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Social relationships have important effects on alcohol drinking. There are conflicting reports, however, about whether early-life family structure plays an important role in moderating alcohol use in humans. We have previously modeled social facilitation

Oxytocin receptor is not required for social attachment in prairie voles
bioRxiv, 2022 Prairie voles are among a small group of mammals that display long-term social attachment between mating partners. Many pharmacological studies show that signaling via the oxytocin receptor (OxtR) is critical for the display of social monogamy in these ...

Social selectivity and social motivation in voles
eLife, 2021 Selective relationships are fundamental to humans and many other animals, but relationships between mates, family members, or peers may be mediated differently.

Amphetamine reward in the monogamous prairie vole [PDF]
Neuroscience Letters, 2007 Recent studies have shown that the neural regulation of pair bonding in the monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is similar to that of drug seeking in more traditional laboratory rodents. Therefore, strong interactions between social behavior and drug reward can be expected. Here, we established the prairie vole as a model for drug studies by

Milk composition and volume in meadow voles and prairie voles [PDF]
Acta Theriologica, 1988 Meadow and praire voles differ in frequency and duration of nursing. Authors examine differences in pattern of maternal investment by comparing the volume and composition of milk produced by the two species.

Fecal microbiota in the female prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 We examined the fecal microbiota of female prairie voles. This species is socially and, likely, sexually monogamous, and thus serves as a valuable model in which to examine the interaction between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and social behavior.

Comparative neurotranscriptomics reveal widespread species differences associated with bonding
BMC Genomics, 2021 Background Pair bonding with a reproductive partner is rare among mammals but is an important feature of human social behavior. Decades of research on monogamous prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster), along with comparative studies using the related non ...
