The paper maps single-cell gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes in the mouse brain across reproductive transitions, identifying hormone-driven neurogenesis and disease-relevant gene regulation.

This study investigates the long-term neurobiological and emotional effects of offspring loss in lactating rats, revealing changes in oxytocin and corticotropin-releasing factor systems and stress behaviors.

This study shows that Egr1 overexpression induces sex-specific changes in neuronal chromatin, gene expression, and behavior in female rodents, mimicking high-oestrogenic phases and affecting hormone-depleted females.

The paper investigates the role of CRF and OXT systems in maternal aggression in lactating rats, showing their involvement in pup defence and neural mechanisms in the nucleus accumbens shell.
