“…In the context of the present paper, it has been shown that exposure to rat pup ultrasounds causes a dramatic increase in prolactin, as well as maternal behaviors in lactating mother rats [35]. Several papers by Bridges and colleagues have established that centrally administered prolactin (and related placental lactogenic peptides) stimulates maternal behavior in steroid-primed female rats [11,12,13,66]. None of these studies specifically focused on responsiveness to infant crying in response to the prolactin administration.…”

Crying is a universal vocalization in human infants, as well as in the infants of other mammals. Little is known about the neural structures underlying cry production, or the circuitry that mediates a caregiver's response to cry sounds. In this review, the specific structures known or suspected to be involved in this circuit are identified, along with neurochemical systems and hormones for which evidence suggests a role in responding to infants and infant cries. In addition, evidence that crying elicits parental responses in different mammals is presented. An argument is made for including 'crying' as a functional category in the vocal repertoire of all mammalian infants (and the adults of some species). The prevailing neural model for crying production considers forebrain structures to be dispensable. However, evidence for the anterior cingulate gyrus in cry production, and this structure along with the amygdala and some other forebrain areas in responding to cries is presented.

“…Parturition is associated with a sharp decline in plasma progesterone levels, and high levels of estradiol (Rosenblatt and Siegel, 1981;Mann and Bridges, 2001). In rats, these hormonal changes are sufficient to induce maternal behavior in virgin females (Bridges, 1984;Mann and Bridges, 2001).…”

“…In rats, these hormonal changes are sufficient to induce maternal behavior in virgin females (Bridges, 1984;Mann and Bridges, 2001). In sheep, changes in estrogen and progesterone levels are important primers of maternal behavior, but alone do not induce strong maternal behavior .…”

“…Late pregnancy and parturition in rats and sheep are also associated with high plasma levels of the pituitary peptide prolactin (Rosenblatt and Siegel, 1981;Mann and Bridges, 2001). Prolactin and prolactin-like placental lactogens facilitate rat maternal behavior (Mann and Bridges, 2001), but do not appear to be important for sheep maternal behavior (Levy et al, 1996).…”

“…Prolactin and prolactin-like placental lactogens facilitate rat maternal behavior (Mann and Bridges, 2001), but do not appear to be important for sheep maternal behavior (Levy et al, 1996). In the rat, the action of prolactins is mutually dependent on steroid hormones: prolactin does not stimulate maternal behavior in ovariectomized virgin rats in the absence of estradiol/progesterone pretreatment .…”

ABSTRACT:In many animal species individuals aggregate to live in groups. A range of experimental approaches in different animals, including studies of social feeding in nematodes, maternal behavior in rats and sheep, and pair-bonding in voles, are providing insights into the neural bases for these behaviors. These studies are delineating multiple neural circuits and gene networks in the brain that interact in ways that are as yet poorly understood to coordinate social behavior.
