Hush little baby, don't you cry: How aversion to infant distress calls drives caregiving

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Historically associated with aversion, the lateral habenula has a poorly characterized role in parenting. In this issue of Neuron, Lecca and colleagues¹ show that these seemingly opposing roles converge in a subnucleus where aversion to pup cries may drive motivation for caregiving.
