Urocortin-3 neurons in the mouse perifornical area promote infant-directed neglect and aggression

While recent studies have uncovered dedicated neural pathways mediating the positive control of parenting, the regulation of infant-directed aggression and how it relates to adult-adult aggression is poorly understood.
