Fatherhood affects dendritic spines and vasopressin V1a receptors in the primate prefrontal cortex

Kozorovitskiy, Yevgenia, Hughes, Maria, Lee, Kim, Gould, Elizabeth·2006·Nature Neuroscience

Abstract

Like human fathers, male marmosets help raise their young, yet the ways in which fatherhood influences the brain remain largely unknown. We show that first-time and experienced marmoset fathers have enhanced density of dendritic spines on pyramidal neurons in prefrontal cortex as compared to non-fathers. In parallel, the abundance of vasopressin V1a receptors and the proportion of V1a receptor-labeled dendritic spines increase.

  • Compared to non-fathers, both first-time and experienced marmoset fathers have increased vasopressin V1aR density in neurons in the prefrontal cortex, as well as increases in the proportion of dendritic spines with V1aR.

    “Compared to non-fathers, both first-time and experienced marmoset fathers have increased vasopressin V1aR density in neurons in the prefrontal cortex, as well as increases in the proportion of dendritic spines with V1aR (Kozorovitskiy et al., 2006).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
