The neurobiology of pair bond formation, bond disruption, and social buffering.

چکیده
Enduring social bonds play an essential role in human society. These bonds positively affect psychological, physiological, and behavioral functions. Here, we review the recent literature on the neurobiology, particularly the role of oxytocin and dopamine, of pair bond formation, bond disruption, and social buffering effects on stress responses, from studies utilizing the socially monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster).

The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster): an animal model for behavioral neuroendocrine research on pair bonding.
Pair bond formation has been investigated much less than many other social behaviors, perhaps in part because traditional laboratory mice and rats do not exhibit this behavior. However, pair bonding is common among monogamous animals such as the prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster). In this review, we discuss how the prairie vole has been used as a model system to investigate the neurobiology of...
متن کاملStudy of lone pair description in molecules by the modified delocalized floating spherical Gaussian orbital method.
This research has been carried out to study and find a rather general description for a lone pairorbital in molecules. Since the orbital parameters must be manageable in advance, and correctgeometry of the molecule (bond lengths) is depend on the appropriate lone pair description; theFSGO method including optimization has been used to obtain orbital parameters and energy. Theproposed models for...
متن کاملμ-Opioid receptors within subregions of the striatum mediate pair bond formation through parallel yet distinct reward mechanisms.
The prairie vole is a socially monogamous rodent that is an excellent animal model for studies of the neurobiology of social attachment. Such studies have demonstrated that activation of reward circuitry during social interactions facilitates pair bond formation. Within this circuitry, μ-opioid receptors (MORs) modulate naturally rewarding behavior in an anatomically segregated manner; MORs loc...
متن کاملSelective Binding of Cyclic Nanopeptide with Halides and Ion Pairs; a DFT-D3 Study
In this article, theoretical studies on the selective complexation of the halide ions (F¯, Cl¯ and Br¯) and ion pairs (Na+F¯, Na+Cl¯ and Na+Br¯) with the cyclic nano-hexapeptide (CP) composed of L-proline have been performed in the gas phase. In order to calculate the dispersion interaction energies of the CP and ions, DFT-D3 calculations at the M05-2X-D3/6-31G(d) level was employed. Based on t...
متن کاملThe effect of some mono and bivalent metal cations on the individual hydrogen bond energies in A−T and G−C base pairs
The effect of interactions of various Ia and IIa cations with two positions of the adenine-thymine (A−T) and guanine-cytosine (G−C) base pairs on the geometries and individual hydrogen bond (HB) energies have been investigated by using the atoms in molecules (AIM) method at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The cations that possess higher charge/radius (q/rad) ratio make higher changes o...
