Intranasal oxytocin enhances social preference for parents over peers in male but not female peri- adolescent California mice (Peromyscus californicus)

This study investigates the effects of intranasal oxytocin and vasopressin on social preferences in peri-adolescent California mice, finding that oxytocin enhances male but not female preference for parents over peers.

Intranasal oxytocin reduces pre-courtship aggression and increases paternal response in California mice (Peromyscus californicus)

This study examines the effects of intranasal oxytocin on social behavior in male California mice, finding it reduces pre-courtship aggression and increases paternal responsiveness but not aggression during resident intruder tests.

Testosterone induces a conditioned place preference to the nest of a monogamous mouse under field conditions

The paper shows that testosterone pulses increase nest time in male California mice in the wild and reduce female nest time, with associated changes in ultrasonic vocalizations.

An acute dose of intranasal oxytocin rapidly increases maternal communication and maintains maternal care in primiparous postpartum California mice

This study shows that a single intranasal oxytocin dose rapidly increases maternal communication and care in postpartum California mice, but only when mothers have physical access to pups.

Intranasal oxytocin drives coordinated social approach

This study shows that intranasal oxytocin enhances coordinated social approach in bonded pairs by promoting behavioral convergence and reducing conflict-related vocalizations.
