Multisensory Plasticity in Mothers

Multisensory Plasticity in Mothers - How do the physiological changes associated with motherhood influence sensory processing within the mother's brain? In this study, Adi Mizrahi and colleagues find that exposure to pup odors reshapes neuronal responses to auditory stimuli in mouse mothers, uncovering a natural process of multisensory plasticity in the cortex that may contribute to maternal behaviors.
