This Special Issue brings together pioneering research that explores the neurobiological and hormonal underpinnings of parenting, with an important emphasis on translational perspectives that bridge laboratory findings with real-world applications. By integrating evidence from both human and animal studies, this collection sheds light on the biological flexibility that supports adaptive caregiving behaviors, offering insights into the hormonal shifts, neural adaptations, and stress responses that characterize the perinatal and postpartum periods.
Keywords: Brain; Fatherhood; Hormones; Matrescence; Motherhood; Pregnancy.
