Increased vasopressin expression in the BNST accompanies paternally induced territoriality in male and female California mouse offspring.
TLDR
Consequences of paternal retrievals on aggression and AVP in offspring are tested and it is postulate that increases in AVP expression may accompany territoriality in female, as well as male offspring.About:

The role of vasopressin in olfactory and visual processing.
TL;DR: Based on the interconnectivity of vasopressin-producing and sensitive brain areas and in consideration of autocrine, paracrine and neurohormone-like actions associated with somato-dendritic release, how these different neuronal populations may interact to impact behaviour is discussed.

Preweaning Paternal Deprivation Impacts Parental Responses to Pups and Alters the Serum Oxytocin and Corticosterone Levels and Oxytocin Receptor, Vasopressin 1A Receptor, Oestrogen Receptor, Dopamine Type I Receptor, Dopamine Type II Receptor Levels in Relevant Brain Regions in Adult Mandarin Voles.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the reduction of parental responses to pups induced by PPD may be associated with the sex-specific alteration of several neuroendocrine parameters in relevant brain regions.

Paternal care in rodents: Ultimate causation and proximate mechanisms
TL;DR: Current research shows that male parental care in rodents is, to a great extent, an epigenetic phenomenon, and future studies will focus on the epigenetic modifications that can affect the paternal behavior in rodents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paternal Care Impacts Oxytocin Expression in California Mouse Offspring and Basal Testosterone in Female, but Not Male Pups.
TL;DR: Using the bi-parental California mouse, it is demonstrated that parenting and aggression are programmed, at least in part, by paternal behavior as adult offspring model the degree of parental behavior received in development and are more territorial following high as compared to low levels of care.

TL;DR: It is shown that an epigenomic state of a gene can be established through behavioral programming, and it is potentially reversible, suggesting a causal relation among epigenomicState, GR expression and the maternal effect on stress responses in the offspring.

Nongenomic Transmission Across Generations of Maternal Behavior and Stress Responses in the Rat
TL;DR: Results of cross-fostering studies reported here indicate that variations in maternal care can serve as the basis for a nongenomic behavioral transmission of individual differences in stress reactivity across generations.

Maternal care during infancy regulates the development of neural systems mediating the expression of fearfulness in the rat

TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal care during infancy serves to "program" behavioral responses to stress in the offspring by altering the development of the neural systems that mediate fearfulness.

The neurobiology of pair bonding
Larry J. Young,Zuoxin Wang +1 more
TL;DR: Differential regulation of neuropeptide receptor expression may explain species differences in the ability to form pair bonds and have intriguing implications for the neurobiology of social attachment in the authors' own species.

Variations in maternal care in the rat as a mediating influence for the effects of environment on development.
TL;DR: Findings indicate considerable, normal variations in licking/grooming in the rat that are a stable, individual characteristic of rat dams.
