Abstract

Adaptability to ethologically relevant cues is fundamental for social interactions. As such, reproductive success relies on the ability of an animal to transition between parental and nonparental states. Though driven by genetically pre-programmed circuits, these instinctive repertoires are reshaped by internal state and experience, making parenting a robust model for the study of behavioural flexibility. As a functional wiring diagram for parenting emerges in mice, we are well placed to identify neural substrates and posit associated mechanisms underlying caregiving transitions. In this review, we discuss the importance of comprehensively characterising behaviour, highlight the role of shared circuit elements for behavioural malleability and explore plastic mechanisms that might guide switches between parental and nonparental repertoires.
