Extended Data Fig. 5: Inhibition of parenting neurons in MPOA reduces parenting in fed lactating mothers.

a, number of pups retrieved. b, nest score. c-d, food intake over time in Parent-TRAP (c) and Negative-TRAP (d) animals. e, total food intake at 40 min time point. f-g, preference index over time in Parent-TRAP (f) and Negative-TRAP (g) animals (n = 7 Parent-TRAP lactating mothers, n = 6 Negative TRAP lactating mothers). Bar and line graphs show mean ± s.e.m. Box plots show median, upper/lower quartiles, and upper/lower extremes. Data analyzed using two-way RM-ANOVA with Šidák’s multiple comparisons test. P-values in c-d, f-g indicate the treatment effect of CNO. Statistical details in Source Data.
