A recent study reveals changes specific to the mother mouse brain that may improve the detection of isolation calls from a mouse baby. The research, published by Cell Press in the June 11th issue of the journal Neuron, provides fascinating new insight into how call-evoked neural inhibition plays a key role in the brain's representation of this important communication vocalization.
