Effect of transient inactivation of the mPOA on median ± SIQR number of active maternal responses over a 30 min-behavioral test. Female rats were tested on early PPD 7 and 8 and then again on late PPD13 and 14. Data shown is for the behavioral control females and for mPOA cannulated females following either vehicle or inactivation treatment with 2% bupivacaine. *Significant difference at P<0.05 on bupivacaine versus saline test days (within-group comparison, Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test) and versus the behavioral control females (between-group comparison, Mann-Whitney U test).
