title: [The role of dopamine and opioid systems in the regulation of maternal behavior].
abstract: This review describes in detail the different components and neuroanatomical basis of maternal behavior and also methodological approaches to investigation of parental reactions. The contributions of some endocrinal and neuromediator brain systems (in the first place, opioid and dopaminergic) to the regulation of maternal behavior are reported. The influences of ligands of opioid and dopamine receptors on the expressions of paternal reactions are analyzed especially. In concluding part the reasons of maternal depression and possibilities of this malfunction pharmacological correstion are discussed.
