Data from: Parental rearing shapes brain functional networks and socio-sexual behaviors in the prairie vole

This dataset captures functional brain connectivity and socio-sexual
behavioral data from prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) reared under
biparental or monoparental family structures. Pairwise functional
connectivity matrices were derived from resting-state fMRI scans collected
at two time points—prior to and following opposite-sex cohabitation—across
twenty predefined brain regions implicated in social behavior. Behavioral
data include quantified parental care at postnatal day 6 (PND6),
socio-sexual behavior metrics during initial cohabitation, and partner
preference indices measured 48 hours later. Data are organized in Excel
format, containing individual subject identifiers, experimental grouping
(family structure, sex, treatment), connectivity strength between brain
region pairs, and associated behavioral measures. This resource supports
reuse in studies examining developmental influences on brain network
formation, the neural basis of social bonding, or comparative analyses
across species or experimental paradigms. All experimental procedures
complied with ethical guidelines approved by the Instituto de
Neurobiología Bioethics Committee (protocol 072, UNAM) and adhered to
national and international standards for animal research.
