The cerebellum and reward-driven behavior Damage to the manifests itself in various forms of cognitive impairment abnormal social behavior. However, exact role plays these conditions is far from clear. Working mice, Carta et al. found direct projections deep cerebellar nuclei brain's reward center, a region called ventral tegmental area (see Perspective by D'Angelo). These allowed play showing preference. Intriguingly, this pathway was not prosocial on its own. Cerebellar inputs into were...

ABSTRACT While recent studies have uncovered dedicated neural pathways mediating the positive control of parenting, regulation infant-directed aggression and how it relates to adult-adult is poorly understood. Here we show that urocortin-3 ( Ucn3 )-expressing neurons in hypothalamic perifornical area (PeFA ) are activated during attacks males females, but not other behaviors. Functional manipulations PeFA demonstrate role this population negative parenting both sexes. receive input from...

One of the most important things to realize about modern Psychiatry is that many factors are involved in pathogenesis and especially evolution mental diseases. The results epidemiological research development different schools with separate specializations have shown importance extrasubjective such as family environment, social context, life events stressors, therefore need find therapeutic strategies which able influence areas. From this wide spectrum arises necessity for a functional...

Abstract Infant avoidance and aggression are promoted by activation of the Urocortin-3 expressing neurons perifornical area hypothalamus (PeFA Ucn3 ) in male female mice. PeFA have been implicated stress, stress is known to reduce maternal behavior. We asked how chronic restraint (CRS) affects infant-directed behavior virgin lactating females what role play this process. Here we show that increases activity females. Chemogenetic inhibition facilitates pup retrieval CRS reduces but does not...
