D-cycloserine facilitates socially reinforced learning in an animal model relevant to autism spectrum disorders
BACKGROUND: There are no drugs that specifically target the social deficits of autism
spectrum disorders (ASD). This may be due to a lack of behavioral paradigms in animal …

Social and physical environments as a source of individual variation in the rewarding effects of testosterone in male California mice (Peromyscus californicus)
Despite extensive research revealing the occurrence of testosterone (T) pulses following
social encounters, it is unclear how they lead to varied behavioral responses. We …

Pair bonding prevents reinforcing effects of testosterone in male California mice in an unfamiliar environment
Testosterone (T) can be released by stimuli such as social interactions, and thereby
influence future social behaviours. Because the reinforcing effects of T can induce …

Behavioral mechanisms underlying the maternal disruptive effect of serotonin 5-HT2A receptor activation in Sprague–Dawley rats
R Wu, C Davis, M Li - Journal of Neural Transmission, 2018 - Springer
Recent evidence indicates that acute activation of 5-HT 2A receptors causes a disruption of
maternal behavior in rats. However, the behavioral mechanisms underlying such a …
