Nucleus accumbens oxytocin and dopamine interact to regulate pair bond formation in female prairie voles.
Although oxytocin (OT) and dopamine (DA) have been implicated in pair bond formation in monogamous prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster), the nature of potential interactions between these two neurochemical systems and the brain circuits important for such interactions in the regulation of pair bonding have not been explored. Here, we demonstrated that access to both OT and DA D2-type receptors ...
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 کاملDrinking alcohol has sex-dependent effects on pair bond formation in prairie voles.
Alcohol use and abuse profoundly influences a variety of behaviors, including social interactions. In some cases, it erodes social relationships; in others, it facilitates sociality. Here, we show that voluntary alcohol consumption can inhibit male partner preference (PP) formation (a laboratory proxy for pair bonding) in socially monogamous prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster). Conversely, fem...
متن کاملVasopressin in the lateral septum regulates pair bond formation in male prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster).
Male prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) form a pair bond with a female partner after mating, and this behavior is regulated by the neuropeptide vasopressin (AVP). The authors report that AVP in the lateral septum is important for pair bond formation. Administration of an AVP V1a receptor antagonist in the lateral septum blocked mating-induced pair bonding, whereas administration of AVP induce...
متن کاملPhotoperiodic and temporal influences on chemosensory induction of brain fos expression in female prairie voles.
Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) typically stop breeding during winter. Male prairie voles respond to winter day lengths with gonadal regression, whereas female voles are relatively unresponsive to photoperiod. Unlike commonly studied laboratory rodents, female prairie voles do not exhibit spontaneous oestrous cycles. Instead, females are induced into oestrus by chemosensory cues from consp...
