Brain functional connectivity shows a neurobiological predisposition to social bonding, and network-wide changes occur as a result of cohabitation in the prairie vole.

Prairie and meadow voles show striking sex and species differences in social motivation to access conspecifics of different types (familiar versus unfamiliar and same-sex versus opposite-sex).

Pair bond induced transcriptional changes in the nucleus accumbens erode after long-term partner separation.

A brain-wide map of neural activation reveals how sexual experience becomes a pair bond in the monogamous prairie vole.

A new ethologically relevant model for investigating the neurobiology of solitary, asocial behavior in the blind mole rat.

Skd3 (human ClpB) is a potent ATP-dependent mitochondrial protein disaggregase that is activated by the rhomboid protease, PARL, and inactivated by MGCA7-linked mutations.

Mother brain shows special sensitivity to social moments of mother-infant synchrony, compared to other caregiving experiences, through enhanced activation across the caregiving network, response to oxytocin administration, and temporal consistency.
