Pair-bonding on the brain

As a monogamous species, the prairie vole is a common model for social neuroscience. Gustison and colleagues mapped a whole-brain histological atlas of the prairie vole and used this atlas to identify a neural network of pair-bonding behaviour. The study reveals coordinated neural networks in mated...

description As a monogamous species, the prairie vole is a common model for social neuroscience. Gustison and colleagues mapped a whole-brain histological atlas of the prairie vole and used this atlas to identify a neural network of pair-bonding behaviour. The study reveals coordinated neural networks in mated pairs and highlights the influence of social bonding on neural processing in the adult prairie vole brain.
