where both parents are involved in rearing their young. Meadow voles‚ a closely related species‚ are polygamous where the mother is the only parent involved in rearing the young. Lim et al. (2004) determined that dopamine and vasopressin are key hormones in regulating social behaviors. Elevated levels of vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR) was discovered to cause the differences in behavioral differences between the prairie vole and the meadow vole. Dopamine receptors were determined to not differ

If the piezo crystals are not short-circuited‚ the applied charge induces a voltage across the material. The word Piezo is derived from the Greek “Piezein”‚ which means to squeeze or press. The piezo material exhibits both “Direct piezo electric effect” as well as ‘Converse piezo electric
