Abstract
Providing and receiving paternal care improves emotional regulation, stress-coping behaviors, and hippocampal structural plasticity in biparental species, like the California mouse (Peromyscus californicus). Conversely, paternal care absence results in sex-specific impairments in structural and functional plasticity of the hippocampus. Despite this knowledge, mechanisms underlying these behavioral and structural changes are understudied.
