Abstract

âº The behavior of vasopressin-deficient Brattleboro mother rats was studied. âº They showed disturbed spontaneous maternal and better depressive-like behavior. âº Reduced c-fos activation of some brain areas may stand in the background. âº Conflicting behavioral data underscores the need for more sex specific studies.
