    The neural mechanisms supporting the rise and fall of maternal aggression

    A study published in Nature reveals that maternal aggression in mice is regulated by an amygdala-to-medial hypothalamus circuit, which strengthens during pregnancy and is amplified by oxytocin during lactation. The research highlights neural mechanisms underlying the dynamic changes in maternal behavior.
