Involvement of MCH-oxytocin neural relay within the hypothalamus in murine nursing behavior
Abstract Multiple sequential actions, performed during parental behaviors, are essential elements of reproduction in mammalian species. We showed that neurons expressing melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) are more active in rodents of both sexes when exhibitin...
