Neurochemical regulation of pair bonding in male prairie voles.
Pair bonding represents social attachment between mates and is common among monogamous animals. The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is a monogamous rodent in which mating facilitates pair bond formation. In this review, we first discuss how prairie voles have been used as an excellent model for neurobiological studies of pair bonding. We then primarily focus on male prairie voles to summari...
متن کاملAlcohol’s Effects on Pair-Bond Maintenance in Male Prairie Voles
Alcohol abuse can have devastating effects on social relationships. In particular, discrepant patterns of heavy alcohol consumption are associated with increased rates of separation and divorce. Previous studies have attempted to model these effects of alcohol using socially monogamous prairie voles. These studies showed that alcohol consumption can inhibit the formation of pair bonds in this s...
متن کاملThe effects of stress on social preferences are sexually dimorphic in prairie voles.
Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) are monogamous rodents that form pair bonds characterized by a preference for a familiar social partner. In male prairie voles, exposure to either the stress of swimming or exogenous injections of corticosterone facilitate the development of a social preference for a female with which the male was paired after injection or swimming. Conversely, adrenalectomy...
متن کاملCorticotropin-releasing factor induces social preferences in male prairie voles.
Exposure to stressors facilitates the formation of social preferences in monogamous male prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster). In the present study, the hypothesis was tested that treatment with corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a neuropeptide released during stress, is capable of inducing social preferences in male prairie voles. The effects of five doses of CRF (0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 100...
متن کاملCosts of pair-bonding and paternal care in male prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster).
The direct costs of paternal care are relatively well documented in primates, however little research has explored these effects in monogamous rodents. The present study examines the long-term effects that pairing and parenting have on male prairie voles. We hypothesized that there would be a significant weight loss over the course of pairing and parenting, presumably from the energetic demands...
