In her new song Oxytocin, @billieeilish sings "You know I need you for the oxytocin". From this we can infer that she is singing to a magnocellular neurosecretory cell of the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytoc…

1/5 Quantity and quality of parental care influences development of offspring social behavior. Female prairie voles rearing offspring without their partner do not supplement the care provided by the father and are more anxious than females rearing biparentallly #AnimBehav2021

(1/5) One aspect of the prairie vole’s unique pair bond behavior is aggression directed towards all other prairie voles. But what could being on the losing end of this kind of aggressive encounter mean for a prairie vole’s ability to form a new pair bond? #AnimBehav2021
Two prairie voles in an aggressive encounter. One prairie vole is in an aggressive posture and the other is in a submissive posture.

1 #AnimBehav2021 The Social Decision-Making Network hypothesis states that the expression of context-appropriate social behaviors is reflected by the overall activity of a network of brain regions rather than activity of any single region.

NEW PREPRINT! A cool study with @PatrickKMonari and @Marler_and_Lab. We wanted to know how individual behavioral responses change following pair-bonding. Spoiler alert: you become more like your partner and oxytocin facilitates this effect! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
