Abstract
En 中文
For most mammals, social bonding between mothers and infants is a fundamental, evolutionarily conserved behavior that is crucial for offspring survival, emotional regulation, and the acquisition of social skills necessary for future interactions (1). Early-life experiences, especially maternal care, shape developmental trajectories, profoundly influencing cognitive, emotional, and social competencies into adulthood (2). In rodents, the neuropeptide oxytocin has been widely recognized for its central role in maternal behaviors toward infants such as nesting, grooming, and nursing (3). Yet comparatively little is known about how oxytocin regulates infant behaviors toward mothers, particularly during episodes of maternal separation and reunion. On page 1111 of this issue, Zelmanoff et al. (4) report real-time changes in the activity of oxytocin-producing neurons in mouse pups during maternal separation and reunion, offering insights into how offspring actively contribute to maternal-infant bonding.
