Journal ArticleDOI
Species differences in paternal behavior and aggression in peromyscus and their associations with vasopressin immunoreactivity and receptors.
TL;DR: This study proposes the hypothesis that aggression may be better correlated with species patterns of AVP-ir staining density and receptor distribution, and suggests that Parental behavior does not appear to predict differences in patterns of Analsis vasopressinergic neurons and receptors across species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vasopressin and aggression in cross-fostered California mice (Peromyscus californicus) and white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus).
TL;DR: The results suggest that manipulating the early parental environment can directly alter both a neurotransmitter system and species-typical patterns of social behavior, but that these effects may vary between species and under different social contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vasopressin and the Transmission of Paternal Behavior Across Generations in Mated, Cross-Fostered Peromyscus Mice
TL;DR: AVP-immunoreactive staining in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis may predict paternal behavior because it correlated positively with retrievals and with a score consisting of huddling, grooming, and time inside the nest.
Book ChapterDOI
Paternal Behavior and Aggression: Endocrine Mechanisms and Nongenomic Transmission of Behavior
TL;DR: Evidence that AVP may be a critical neurochemical underlying this nongenomic transfer of behavioral patterns is presented, and discussion of plasticity in behavior and the underlying physiological mechanisms are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manipulations of vasopressin alter aggression differently across testing conditions in monogamous and non‐monogamous Peromyscus mice
TL;DR: It is suggested that AVP may be more likely to be associated with offensive aggression as measured in the R-I test than with neutral arena aggression and that the effects of AVP manipulations may differ between monogamous and non-monogamous rodents.
