Prairie voles have a similar family structure to humans. They also display populational/cultural differences in the family relationships and strengths of bonds, the strength and expression of which is further altered in male offspring whose mothers are from Kansas and fathers from Illinois. This lecture will discuss the mechanisms involved in regulating these differences and recent findings that higher order functional connectivity between brain regions plays an important role.This is a single lecture on 4/12.
