Parental brain through time: The origin and development of the neural circuit of mammalian parenting

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1534, Issue 1, Page 24-44, April 2024.
This review explores the potential origins and subsequent evolution of mammalian parental care. The fundamental neural circuitry underlying mammalian parental care likely traces its roots to hypothalamic preoptic neurons originally dedicated to territory and egg guarding in early vertebrates. Reproduction in challenging environments drove the selection
