The Effects of D1 or D2 Dopamine Receptor Antagonism in the Medial Preoptic Area, Ventral Pallidum, or Nucleus Accumbens on the Maternal Retrieval Response and Other Aspects of Maternal Behavior in Rats.

The medial preoptic area (MPOA), ventral pallidum (VP), and nucleus accumbens (NA) receive dopaminergic afferents and are involved in maternal behavior.
