Nucleus accumbens core medium spiny neuron electrophysiological properties and partner preference behavior in the adult male prairie vole, Microtus ochrogaster
Journal of Neurophysiology, 119(4), 1576–1588.
author keywords: electrophysiology; medium spiny neuron; nucleus accumbens; rat; vole
MeSH headings : Action Potentials / physiology; Animals; Arvicolinae / physiology; Excitatory Postsynaptic Potentials / physiology; Male; Mating Preference, Animal / physiology; Neurons / physiology; Nucleus Accumbens / physiology; Patch-Clamp Techniques; Social Behavior
TL;DR:
It is found that decreases in miniature excitatory postsynaptic current amplitude and the slope of the evoked action potential firing rate to depolarizing current injection weakly associated with increased preference for the partnered female, suggests that exciteatory synaptic strength and neuronal excitability may be decreased in MSNs in males exhibiting stronger preference for a partnered female.

Individual Variation in Social Behaviours of Male Lab-reared Prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) is Non-heritable and Weakly Associated with V1aR Density
Scientific Reports, 8(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Arvicolinae / physiology; Basal Forebrain / metabolism; Female; Male; Mating Preference, Animal; Pair Bond; Receptors, Vasopressin / metabolism; Social Behavior
TL;DR:
Heritability estimates of variation in partner preference were low, yet heritability estimates for V1aR expression were high, indicating that the extensive variation in Partner preference observed within this population is due largely to environmental plasticity.

Novel unconditioned prosocial behavior in prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) as a model for empathy
BMC Research Notes, 11(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Arginine Vasopressin / genetics; Arginine Vasopressin / metabolism; Arvicolinae / physiology; Arvicolinae / psychology; Behavior, Animal / physiology; Cooperative Behavior; Dopaminergic Neurons / cytology; Dopaminergic Neurons / metabolism; Empathy / physiology; Female; Gene Expression; Humans; Hypothalamus / cytology; Hypothalamus / metabolism; Male; Models, Animal; Oxytocin / genetics; Oxytocin / metabolism; Paraventricular Hypothalamic Nucleus / cytology; Paraventricular Hypothalamic Nucleus / metabolism; Tyrosine 3-Monooxygenase / genetics; Tyrosine 3-Monooxygenase / metabolism
TL;DR:
The consistency between neuroanatomical mechanisms linked to empathy, and the durations of time spent engaging in empathic contact, support the prediction that the empathy contact in this test is a distinct prosocial behavior, lacking prior behavioral training or the naturally occurring ethological relevance of other prosocial behaviors, and is a measure of empathy.

MeSH headings : Animals; Cadmium / adverse effects; Disease Models, Animal; Humans; Lead / adverse effects; Mercury / adverse effects; Metabolic Syndrome / chemically induced; Metals, Heavy / adverse effects
TL;DR:
Assessment of potential causal links between heavy metal exposure and metabolic syndrome remains challenging as epidemiological data are largely cross-sectional; and variation in study design, including samples used for heavy metal measurements, age of subjects at which MS outcomes are measured, and the population demographics vary widely.

Comparative genomic analyses of osteosarcoma etiology reveal a chromosomal structural rationale for the increased incidence of osteosarcoma in dogs
Sarver, A. L., Mills, L., Temiz, N., Scott, M. I., Sarver, A., Spector, L., … Largaespada, D. (2018, July). CANCER RESEARCH, Vol. 78.
TL;DR:
It is hypothesized that increased osteosarcoma incidence in dogs is partly due to a syntenic rearrangement of the peri-PTEN locus in the canine genome, which creates a high risk of loss in the context of cytogenetic instability caused by disruption of TP53, thereby providing a structural genetic rational for the higher incidence of osteosARcoma in dogs.

TL;DR:
This chapter summarizes human data on CpG methylation, the most studied epigenetic mechanism in humans, in the context of causal inference, in adults and children, and concludes with a call for sex- and ethnic-specific data, together with data demonstrating that obesity-associated DNA methylation marks identified precede obesity.
