In article number 1600159 Kohl et al. discuss how modern approaches in neurobiology allow us to deconstruct the neural circuits underlying parental care, a key social behavior. The cover depicts a schematized mammalian brain surrounded by images of fluorescently labeled neurons, at different spatial scales, that form these circuits. Maternal and paternal care are orchestrated by shared neural circuits that are subject to sex-specific regulation. The circuit board pattern in the background hints at the largely hard-wired, conserved nature of this behavior. Together, these elements highlight recent progress in deciphering – at the behavioral and cellular levels – the nature and function of brain-wide neural circuits underlying male and female parenting.
