Abstract:She returned to Southern California neural and physiological consequences of parenthood and neuroendocrineIn many biparental mammalian species, such as California mice (Peromyscus calireproductively naïve males show highly variable behavioral responses to infants.

Each mouse underwent three 10-minute tests with an unfamiliar pup at 48-hour intervals. Male… Show more
