African giant pouched rats (#pouchies) show no sex differences in #oxytocin receptor or #vasopressin 1a receptor in the brain. But how do they compare to other rodents? Find out in our new paper by Angela Freeman, Samanta Arenas, @DNLee5 & Bhupinder Singh frontiersin.org/journals/endoc…

Does being pair-bonded keep you young ? Lindsay Sailer 🧠🇭🇳 et al explored this question in #PrairieVoles in our recent paper in Scientific Reports In short: Not really. BUT we did establish a VoleClock and found several genes strongly associated with bonding! nature.com/articles/s4159….

Have you ever wanted to run studies with #PrairieVoles but didn't have access to the animals? Now you can! The Cornell Vole Core is now open and able to ship voles to your lab! The webpage is currently minimalistic, but contact them to inquire. [pls RT] volecore.research.cornell.edu
