摘要: Aim Elucidation of the neural mechanism maternal behaviors is a medically and biologically important research task. The rat laboratory animal most extensively analyzed for behaviors. However, that maintains motivation postpartum rats has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we aimed to identify brain regions involved in maintenance by detecting exhibit changes nerve activity when mother separated from her pups. Methods Lactating were their pups on day 3 kept away certain period time, exhibited those are returned detected immunohistochemistry using anti-c-Fos antibody, marker increased activity. Results Rats with later showed increases number c-Fos immunoreactive (c-Fos-IR) cells medial preoptic area (MPA), bed nucleus stria terminalis (BST), caudal portion posterior hypothalamic (PH) supramamillary (SUM). permanently pups, only PH SUM an increase c-Fos-IR cells. Conclusion rats, aversive memory anxiety level. observed suggests change SUM, which anxiety,
