Oxytocin controls both sides of the mother-pup relationship in mice, influencing how pups communicate when separated from their mothers, a new study finds.

Oxytocin shapes both mouse mom and pup behavior

Distressed pups emit distinct cries for help, which depend on oxytocin neurons in their hypothalamus.
