Neurobiology and neural circuits of parenting behaviours
With this collection, the editors at Nature Communications, Communications Biology and Scientific Reports welcome the submission of primary research articles that focus on neuronal circuits and behaviour involved in both male and female parenting behaviors. We particularly encourage studies in rodent models exploring the intersection of parenting behavior, motivation and epigenetics with an emphasis on neurobiology probed using methods such as transcriptomics, optogenetics, chemogenetics and in vivo recording.
