AUSTIN (KXAN) — What can humans learn about love from other species? A fuzzy little prairie vole led researchers from the University of Texas at Austin to more answers on how to find lasting ...

There's more to love than a single hormone. That's the conclusion of a study of prairie voles that were genetically altered to ignore signals from the "love hormone" oxytocin. The study, published in ...

New research shows that early life exposure to a commonly used flame-retardant mixture increases anxiety and affects socioemotional behaviors in prairie voles, particularly in females. New research ...
