Schematic representation of the neural network in rat. Blue arrows indicate sensory inputs, green arrows represent the maternal network and red arrows represent neural network in non-maternal male and female rat to trigger pup avoidance. Nuclei in dashed lines are located more laterally. AMY: Amygdala; BST: Bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; MPOA: Medial preoptic area; NAcc: Nucleus Accumbens; OB/AOB: Olfactory bulb/Accessory olfactory bulb; PAG: Periaqueductal Gray; VP: Ventral pallidum; VMN: Ventromedian nucleus of the hypothalamus; VTA: Ventral Tegmental Area. Images of pups and adult rats were obtained from Servier Medical Art (https://smart.servier.com/)
