Endocrinology of Parenting EvaluationBold text

Content

Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? What else could be improved?

Everything appears relevant is the article topic, and all of the information was structured and flowed well. Nothing appears to be out of date and nothing should be added.

Tone

Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

The article is neutral, there are no claims that appear biased, and all of the information seemed equally represented.

Sourcing

Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article? Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

The links work and support the claims in the article. Each fact is referenced with an appropriate reliable source. From skimming the cited sources, the referenced information is generally from peer-reviewed articles that are seemingly neutral and reliable sources.

What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic? How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects? How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

There are no conversations behind the scenes about how to represent this topic. This article is part of the Wikiproject Medicine, and it is rated as a start-class and a low-importance article. I feel that this article in particular focuses on the variations within studies between nonhuman and human species in relation to hormones involved in parenting. In class we do not go as in depth with these variations, however we cover these parenting hormones in terms of how they interact within humans, generally.

This article demonstrates the varying effects that different concentrations of oxytocin, testosterone, and cortisol can have on an individual, A study was conducted specifically on Tsimane’ men returning home after hunting. It was found that the longer a hunt lasted, the more of an increase there was in both oxytocin and testosterone concentrations with no cortisol alterations. The significance of the findings in terms of pair-bonding, parenting, and social foraging are discussed.

This article delves into the interconnectedness between estrogen and progesterone discussed in relation to ligand, receptor, and gene activity in rodents and the role of neuroendocrine factors such as oxytocin and vasopressin which regulate maternal care. Essentially, a more in-depth analysis of the components and effects within the neural and endocrine system is covered.

Accessed 4 March 2019.

This article discusses the role of oxytocin and the effects of psychopathology on the paternal brain because the role of oxytocin on the brain circuits can be altered by current and early-life experiences. As such, the brain systems that deal with parental responses to infant cues are imaged via MRI.

Accessed 4 March 2019.

This article discusses an experiment in which the effect of intranasal spray of oxytocin was determined to have an impact on the behavior of mothers and how often the mothers used love withdrawal as a punishment strategy after their child misbehaved or failed in something. The administration of oxytocin was found to change functional connectivity between the posterior cingulate cortex and brainstem, and in turn caused the mothers to reduce their love withdrawal from their child(ren). As such, the results suggest that oxytocin can enhance prosocial behavior.

Oxytocin Effects on Nonhumans

(Make sure I want to cover material with this subheading)

Prolactin effects on Nonhumans

Melo, Angel I. et al. “Effects of prolactin deficiency during the early postnatal period on the development of maternal behavior in female rats: Mother's milk makes the difference.” Hormones and Behavior, vol. 56, no. 3, 2009, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19538963. Accessed 16 March 2019.

This article discusses the effect that prolactin has on the development on pups when they ingest it via their mother’s milk. This study focused on how prolactin, or a lack thereof, in the milk of a mother will affect her pups neuroendocrine, immunological, and reproductive development. The data suggests that prolactin does play a positive developmental role in the developing maternal behavior between pups who ingested it and those that did not.
