What happens in the brain when an animal becomes a new parent?<\/p>\n<p>In humans, even people who have not experienced pregnancy, such as fathers and adoptive parents, are able to experience behavioral changes. A new study by researchers from Chapman University demonstrates how the brain changes as birds, which do not undergo changes in physiology associated with pregnancy, experience the transition to becoming parental. The results show that as non-reproductive birds become parental, their brains mimic changes observed in female mice post-partum. The results reveal molecules that were not known to have a role in parental care in non-placental species and open new avenues for the understanding of the regulation of parental care across vertebrates. The study was published in the journal\u00a0<em>Scientific Reports\u00a0<\/em>on July 29.<\/p>\n<p>The research makes use of an unusual characteristic of a domesticated bird, the Japanese quail. Over the course of being bred for more egg production, Japanese quail lost their parental behavior. Very few birds are spontaneously parental towards chicks. Interestingly, there is a simple procedure that can help these birds become parental. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/our-faculty\/patricia-castro-lopes\">Dr. Patr\u00edcia C. Lopes<\/a>, an assistant professor of biological sciences in the Schmid College of Science and Technology, induces the birds to become parental towards chicks so that she can study how their physiology, brain, and behavior change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you place these birds in a nest box with small chicks overnight, most of them will show parental behaviors towards chicks the next morning! It was really striking to observe how birds that had no reproductive experience could transition to being parental so quickly,\u201d Lopes said.<\/p>\n<p>Using this setup, Lopes and postdoctoral fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/about\/our-home\/keck-center\/gci\/fellows.aspx\">Dr. Robert de Bruijn<\/a> studied the molecular differences in the brain of non-breeding birds that spent the night with chicks relative to those that did not. They were surprised to find that very few differences could be detected, but the major molecules that were different also appear to be important in regulating parental behavior and parental aggression in mice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is exciting to observe these similarities between animals that have placentas and those that do not because it might indicate that these mechanisms are evolutionarily conserved. However, we do not yet know the full story. We will continue studying these molecules to understand more precisely how they might support parental behaviors,\u201d Lopes concluded.<\/p>\n<p><em>The research was funded by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/about\/our-home\/keck-center\/gci\/index.aspx\">Grand Challenges Initiative<\/a> at Chapman University. <\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"hidden-xs hidden-sm\" \/>\n<div class=\"featured_image\">\n<div class=\"details\">\n<div class=\"well\"><strong>JOURNAL<\/strong><br \/>\nScientific Reports<\/div>\n<div class=\"well\">\n<p><strong>DOI<\/strong><br \/>\n10.1038\/s41598-021-94927-6<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>METHOD OF RESEARCH<\/strong><br \/>\nExperimental study<\/p>\n<p><strong>SUBJECT OF RESEARCH<\/strong><br \/>\nAnimals<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARTICLE TITLE<\/strong><br \/>\nNeurotranscriptomic changes associated with chick\u2010directed parental care in adult non\u2010reproductive Japanese quail<\/p>\n<div class=\"well\">\n<p><strong>ARTICLE PUBLICATION DATE<\/strong><br \/>\n29-Jul-2021<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Findings Published in Scientific Reports Journal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1225,"featured_media":9011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"Holly Secon","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,7],"tags":[13,21,16],"class_list":["post-9007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faculty","category-scstresearch","tag-biological-sciences","tag-grand-challenges-initiative","tag-women-in-stem"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
