Maternal Behavior

2004
AbstractThis chapter describes maternal behavior of the laboratory rat and outlines various methods of observing and quantifying this behavior. Although in some rodent biparental species males also show parental behavior, this is not the case for most rodents, including R. norvegicus. However, under certain experimental conditions, males also show many

Prolactin, neurogenesis, and maternal behaviors

Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 2012
Elevated prolactin during pregnancy increases neurogenesis in the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricle (SVZ) of the maternal brain. Evidence from our laboratory has shown that low prolactin in early pregnancy, and the consequent suppression of neurogenesis in the SVZ in the adult brain, is associated with increased postpartum anxiety and ...

MATERNAL VARIABLES AND NEONATE BEHAVIOR

Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry, 1967
Experiments with infrahuman subjects have demonstrated a distinct relationship between offspring behavior and certain prenatal and postnatal maternal variables. If these findings can be replicated in human subjects, we may uncover some parameters of infant life which will shed more light on the differences in psychological vulnerability among children.

Maternal behavior and developmental psychopathology

Biological Psychiatry, 2002
This paper reviews recent developments in the phenomenology, neurobiology, and genetics of maternal behavior in animal model systems from an evolutionary perspective on psychopathology. Following a review of the phenomenology and neurobiology of maternal behavior, recent studies addressing the role of genetic factors in the maternal behavior of rodents

Epigenetic programming by maternal behavior

Nature Neuroscience, 2004
Here we report that increased pup licking and grooming (LG) and arched-back nursing (ABN) by rat mothers altered the offspring epigenome at a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene promoter in the hippocampus. Offspring of mothers that showed high levels of LG and ABN were found to have differences in DNA methylation, as compared to offspring of 'low-LG-ABN'

Maternal Employment: Impact on Maternal Behavior

Family Relations, 1992
A psychologist analyzed data on 60 mother-infant pairs living in Indiana to examine the relationship between maternal employment and maternal separation anxiety during the infants first year of life. Overall maternal employment did not affect maternal behavior.

PATTERNS AND LEVELS OF MATERNAL BEHAVIOR

Child Development, 1955
Many environmental factors appear to play a part in the development of child behavior and personality. The relative importance of these factors and the specific manner in which they influence personality development are still, to a large extent, a matter of conjecture.

Atypical maternal behavior, maternal representations, and infant disorganized attachment

Development and Psychopathology, 2003
The data for 197 mother–infant pairs from two longitudinal studies were analyzed to assess relations between maternal attachment representations; atypical maternal behavior, coded with a new tool, Atypical Maternal Behavior Instrument for Assessment and Classification (AMBIANCE), and infant attachment.

Maternal Behavior and Design of the Maternity Pen

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2019
Labor is likely a painful and stressful experience for dairy cows. Understanding maternal behavior can help inform the design of maternity pens that best accommodate the cow. The maternity pen should provide the cow an opportunity to seclude from other cows and barn activity.

Maternal behavior and maternal stress are associated with infant behavioral development in macaques

Developmental Psychobiology, 2005
AbstractThe simultaneous effects of naturally occurring individual differences in maternal care and maternal peripartum stress on infant development have been sparsely reported in nonhuman primates. In this work, we used a comparative approach to assess how changes in peripartum maternal excreted cortisol levels and the quality of mother–infant ...
