Communications Biology, 2022 Selective DREADD-mediated activation of the lateral septum reveals its importance in enabling male prairie voles to adjust selective and nonselective social behavior to account for important life-history shifts linked with reproductive success.

Comparative Assessment of Familiarity/Novelty Preferences in Rodents
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 Sociality—i.e., life in social groups—has evolved many times in rodents, and there is considerable variation in the nature of these groups. While many species-typical behaviors have been described in field settings, the use of consistent behavioral ...

Neuroscience, 2022 Previous studies have shown that 3-day d-amphetamine (AMPH) treatment effectively induced conditioned place preferences (CPP) and impaired pair bonding behaviors in prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster).

Behavioural Brain Research, 2021 Around 5% of mammals are socially monogamous and both parents provide care to the pups (biparental, BP). Prairie voles are socially monogamous rodents extensively used to understand the neurobiological basis of pair bond formation and the consequences ...

Journal of neuroendocrinology, 2021 Paternal absence can significantly alter bio‐behavioural development in many biparental species. This effect has generally been demonstrated by comparing the development of offspring reared under biparental care with those reared by a single mother ...

Duration of postpartum estrus in the prairie vole [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1986 The present study was designed to delineate the duration of postpartum estrus in the prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster. Breeding pairs were separated prior to parturition, and males were reintroduced to the females 0–12 h, 12–24 h, 24–48 h, or 48–72 h postpartum. Pairs were observed for 1 h to determine whether mating occurred.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Complex social behaviors are governed by a neural network theorized to be the social decision-making network (SDMN). However, this theoretical network is not tested on functional grounds.

Age of pairing affects reproduction in prairie voles [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1991 The effect of the age at pairing on reproduction of weanling prairie voles was studied. The proportion of pairs producing a litter within 60 days was influenced significantly by the age at pairing. More voles paired at 31 days of age produced litters than those paired at 21 days of age.

Empathy in prairie voles: Is this the consolation prize? [PDF]
Learning & Behavior, 2016 Although it is well known that humans and great apes are capable of engaging in consolation, an affiliative behavior directed toward distressed individuals, it has largely been assumed that this form of empathy was restricted to species possessing more complex cognitive functions.

Social Neuroscience, 2021 Social stressors produce neurobiological and emotional consequences in social species. Environmental interventions, such as environmental enrichment and exercise, may modulate physiological and behavioral stress responses.
