Antecedents of Maternal Separation Anxiety

, 1993
Antecedents of maternal separation anxiety were examined in 83 Italian mothers prior to their infants or toddlers entering group care. As measured by the Maternal Separation Anxiety Scale, mothers' anxiety did not vary with the child's age. Hierarchical regressions revealed that anxious mothers were younger and less educated, received less support, had

Neural correlates of maternal separation in rhesus monkeys

Biological Psychiatry, 2001
The neurobiological basis of stress and anxiety in primates remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined the neural response to a naturalistic social stressor: maternal separation. We used rhesus monkeys as an animal model because of their close phylogenetic affinity with humans.Six juvenile rhesus monkeys received [(18)F]-fluorodeoxyglucose ...

Maternal and foetal ECG separation using blind source separation methods

Mathematical Medicine and Biology, 1997
The separation of the maternal and foetal electrocardiograms (ECGs) from skin electrodes located on the mother's body may be modelled as a blind source separation (BSS) problem. This consists in the reconstruction of a set of unknown mutually independent source signals from the sole knowledge of another set of linear mixtures of the sources, where the ...

Maternal separation as a model of brain–gut axis dysfunction

Psychopharmacology, 2010
Early life stress has been implicated in many psychiatric disorders ranging from depression to anxiety. Maternal separation in rodents is a well-studied model of early life stress. However, stress during this critical period also induces alterations in many systems throughout the body. Thus, a variety of other disorders that are associated with adverse

Maternal Separation Anxiety: Its Developmental Course and Relation to Maternal Mental Health

Child Development, 1992
Maternal separation anxiety is a construct that describes a mother's experience of worry, sadness, or guilt during short-term separations from her child. This investigation examined potential differences in psychological correlates between mothers with high and low levels of anxiety when their children were 8 months, 3 1/2 years, and 6 years of age ...

Maternal separation affects infant rats' behavior

Behavioral Biology, 1973
Eighteen hour separations of 2 wk old Wistar rat pups from their mothers were found to increase levels of activity, elimination and self-grooming in a novel environment and to delay sleep onset. A control group supplied with nonlactating foster mothers suggested that whereas the sleep onset changes could have a nutritional mechanism, the waking ...
