“…Upon the arrival of the offspring, trial-and-error learning as a strategy to finetune maternal behavior is too-little, too-late. Although glimpses of maternal responsiveness such as tail carrying, nest building, and altered food preferences may be observed during pregnancy in the rat (Fleming, 2007;Lott and Rosenblatt, 1969;Rosenblatt, 1969Rosenblatt, , 1980, maternal behavior makes a rather abrupt appearance following parturition. In an almost seamless transition to the postpartum phase, maternal mammals engage in specific responses that are essential for the offspring's survival.…”

This article is part of a Special Issue "Parental Care". It is becoming clear that the female brain has an inherent plasticity that is expressed during reproduction. The changes that occur benefit the offspring, which in turn secures the survival of the mother's genetic legacy. Thus, the onset of maternal motivation involves basic mechanisms from genetic expression profiles, to hormone release, to hormone-neuron interactions, all of which fundamentally change the neural architecture - and for a period of time that extends, interestingly, beyond the reproductive life of the female. Although multiple brain areas involved in maternal responses are discussed, this review focuses primarily on plasticity in the maternal hippocampus during pregnancy, the postpartum period and well into aging as it pertains to changes in cognition. In addition, the effects of prolonged and repeated stress on these dynamic responses are considered. The maternal brain is a marvel of directed change, extending into behaviors both obvious (infant-directed) and less obvious (predation, cognition). In sum, the far-reaching effects of reproduction on the female nervous system provide an opportunity to investigate neuroplasticity and behavioral flexibility in a natural mammalian model.

“…The cycle of maternal behavior is a product of the maternal responsiveness of the mother and the developmental changes in the young. As pointed out long time ago by the "father of the experimental study of maternal behavior" (Fleming, 2007) Jay Rosenblatt (Rosenblatt, 1969), "there is no reason to believe that the psychophysiological basis of maternal behavior and factors which influence its development are the same during different phases. Each phase requires analysis of that phase, and the separate phases need to be related to one another in a developmental sequence" (page 37).…”

Psychological and neurobiological mechanisms underlying the decline of maternal behavior

The maternal behavior decline is important for the normal development of the young and the wellbeing of the mother. This paper reviews limited research on the factors and mechanisms involved in the rat maternal behavior decline and proposes a multi-level model. Framed in the parent-offspring conflict theory (an ultimate cause) and the approach-withdrawal model (a proximate cause), the maternal behavior decline is viewed as an active and effortful process, reflecting the dynamic interplay between the mother and her offspring. It is instigated by the waning of maternal motivation, coupled with the increased maternal aversion by the mother in responding to the changing sensory and motoric patterns of pup stimuli. In the decline phase, the neural circuit that mediates the inhibitory ("withdrawal") responses starts to increase activity and gain control of behavioral outputs, while the excitatory ("approach") maternal neural circuit is being inhibited or reorganized. Various hormones and certain monoamines may play a critical role in tipping the balance between the excitatory and inhibitory neural circuits to synchronize the mother-infant interaction
