Neural stem cells (NSCs) persist in the adult mammalian brain and are able to give rise to
new neurons and glia throughout life. The largest stem cell niche in the adult mouse brain is …

Highlights•In most sexually reproducing species, sexual behavior takes place when
fertilization is most likely to occur and inhibited otherwise.•Different neuronal mechanisms …

Adult neural stem cells (NSCs) contribute to lifelong brain plasticity. In the adult mouse
ventricular-subventricular zone, NSCs are heterogeneous and, depending on their location …

Olfaction is fundamental in many species of mammals. In rodents, the integrity of this system
is required for the expression of parental and sexual behavior, mate recognition …

Abstract Background The prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster) is a socially monogamous
rodent that establishes an enduring pair bond after cohabitation, with (6 h) or without (24 h) …

Prairie voles are a socially monogamous species that, after cohabitation with mating, form
enduring pair bonds. The plastic mechanisms involved in this social behavior are not well …

Microtus ochrogaster is a rodent with a monogamous reproductive strategy characterized by
strong pair bond formation after 6 h of mating. Here, we determine whether mating‐induced …

Different conditions induce proliferation, migration and integration of new neurons in the
adult brain. This process of neurogenesis is a clear example of long lasting plastic changes …

The olfactory bulb (OB) neurons establish a complex network that ensures the correct
processing of the olfactory inputs. Moreover, the OB presents a lifelong addition of new …

Olfactory communication is triggered by pheromones that profoundly influence
neuroendocrine responses to drive social interactions. Two principal olfactory systems …
