Abstract
⺠Comparison of brain NPY-ir of promiscuous meadow vole and monogamous prairie vole. ⺠Meadow voles have higher NPY-ir in the extended amygdala and septal areas. ⺠Meadow voles also have higher NPY-ir in regions involved in circadian regulation. ⺠There were no species differences in the striatum or hippocampus. ⺠Findings support a role for NPY in regulating species-typical social behavior.
