Novel aspect of oxytocin neurons mediating parental behavior and aversive burying behavior under the control of melanin-concentrating hormone neurons

Novel aspect of oxytocin neurons mediating parental behavior and aversive burying behavior under the control of melanin-concentrating hormone neurons

Parental behavior comprises a set of crucial actions essential for offspring survival. In this study, a double transgenic mouse model engineered to specifically express channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) in paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (PVN)–oxytocin neurons and ablate lateral hypothalamic area (LHA)...
