Correction to: Nature Reviews Neuroscience https://doi.org/10.1038/s41583-023-00733-6, published online 23 August 2023.

In the version of the article initially published, the surname of Maria Paternina-Die was misspelt as Paternina-Pie. In the “Maternal circuit activation in rodents” subsection, in the sentence beginning “The activation of MPOA neurons near parturition stimulates maternal behaviour,” a citation to ref. 5 (Numan, M. The Parental Brain: Mechanisms, Development, and Evolution (Oxford Univ. Press, 2020)) was missing. These errors have now been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
