Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic & Clinical, 2022 Social isolation influences depression- and anxiety-related disorders and altered cardiac function. Oxytocin may mediate these conditions through interactions with social behavior, emotion, and cardiovascular function, via central and/or peripheral ...

Partner separation rescues pair bond-induced decreases in hypothalamic oxytocin neural densities
Scientific Reports, 2023 Studies in prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) have shown that although formation of the pair bond is accompanied by a suite of behavioral changes, a bond between two voles can dissolve and individuals can form new pair bonds with other conspecifics ...

Genes, Brain and Behavior, 2022 In pair bonding animals, coordinated behavior between partners is required for the pair to accomplish shared goals such as raising young. Despite this, experimental designs rarely assess the behavior of both partners within a bonded pair.

Cardiac regulation in the socially monogamous prairie vole [PDF]
Physiology & 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

Social experience alters oxytocinergic modulation in the nucleus accumbens of female prairie voles
bioRxiv, 2021 Social relationships are dynamic and evolve with shared and personal experiences. Whether the functional role of social neuromodulators also evolves with experience to shape the trajectory of relationships is unknown.

Structural connectivity of the fore- and mid-brain in prairie voles. [PDF]
iScienceMammals 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.

Microglia react to partner loss in a sex- and brain site-specific manner in prairie voles
Brain, behavior, and immunity, 2021 Positive social relationships are paramount for the survival of mammals and beneficial for mental and physical health, buffer against stressors, and even promote appropriate immune system functioning.

Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from the prairie vole. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The vast majority of animals mate more or less promiscuously. A few mammals, including humans, utilize more restrained mating strategies that entail a longer term affiliation with a single mating partner.

Maturation of Social-Vocal Communication in Prairie Vole (Microtus ochrogaster) Pups
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

Specificity in Sociality: Mice and Prairie Voles Exhibit Different Patterns of Peer Affiliation
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018 Social behavior is often described as a unified concept, but highly social (group-living) species exhibit distinct social structures and may make different social decisions.
