Brain vasopressin is an important regulator of maternal behavior independent of dams' trait anxiety.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 4 Nov 2008

Bosch Oliver J, Neumann Inga D

Abstract excerpt

The neuropeptide arginine vasopressin (AVP) is arguably among the most potent regulators of social behaviors in mammals identified to date. However, only the related neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) has been shown to promote maternal behavior. Here, we assess the role of AVP in maternal care, in particular in arched back nursing, pup retrieval, and pup contact by using complementary pharmacological and genetic...
