  2. RE: biologists.social/@biorxivprep

    Very interesting pre-print on C-section delivery and oxytocin and vasopressin.

    Why voles?
    "The use of voles as subjects here also offers several advantages.
    First, voles tolerate room temperature housing well [36], without the metabolic [37,38], autonomic [12,39] and
    neuroendocrine [40] consequences faced by mice housed at room temperature. Voles are undomesticated,
    which means their OXT and AVP systems have not undergone artificial selection as in mice [41]. "
