Prolonged partner separation erodes nucleus accumbens transcriptional signatures of pair bonding in male prairie voles

2021-07-14

Abstract excerpt

The loss of a spouse is often cited as the most traumatic event in a person’s life. However, for most people, the severity of grief and its maladaptive effects subside over time via an understudied adaptive process. Like humans, socially monogamous prairie voles ( Microtus ochrogaster ) form opposite-sex pair bonds, and upon partner separation, show stress phenotypes that diminish over time. We test the hypothesi...
