Stereotypies and suffering [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioural Processes, 1991
Stereotypies often develop in environments that independent evidence shows cause poor welfare. Thus the development od stereotypies indicates that well-being has probably been poor, with the animal motivated to show a behaviour pattern that it could not perform normally or to completion.

The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

Fatty liver-induced changes in stereotypic behavior in rats and effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 analog on stereotypy

open access: yesKaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2014
Although understanding the relation between psychotic behavior and immune abnormalities has been the focus of research for many years, it remains to be elucidated whether the changes in cytokine levels are part of etiology or a result of the stress ...

Comprehensive Evaluation of Bisphenol A Toxicity Reveals Neurobehavioral, Metabolic, and Reproductive Impairments in Girardia tigrina

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a common industrial chemical used in plastics and consumer products, is increasingly detected in aquatic environments, raising serious concerns about its potential ecological impacts. This study evaluated the sublethal and acute toxic effects of BPA on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, a recognized model for ...

The Welfare and Educational Impacts of Encounter Experiences and Displays on Zoo‐Housed Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens)

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the extent and composition of red panda (Ailurus Fulgens spp.) encounters amongst 150 global zoos and their impact on animal longevity and reproduction. Comparative data analysis suggests that encounter animals produced more offspring and had higher longevity (survival) than non‐encounter animals with differences noted between ...

The Embryonic Development of the Cotylean Polyclad Phrikoceros jannetae

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclads exhibit distinct developmental modes ranging from direct to indirect development, with several transitional stages also recognised. The existence of an indirect developmental mode in polyclads with a planktonic life history stage in the form of a free‐swimming larva is unique among all free‐living flatworms and makes polyclads a ...

Exploring behavioural plasticity in the nesting biology of Megachile sculpturalis (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) and its role in invasion success

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology
The success of animal species is shaped by a combination of ecological conditions and behavioural plasticity, with the latter being particularly crucial for the spread of invasive species.

Antipsychotic-Like Effect of Trimetazidine in a Rodent Model

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2013
Trimetazidine (TMZ) has been used as an anti-ischemic agent for angina pectoris, chorioretinal disturbances, and vertigo. Also, it can induce extrapyramidal type adverse reaction such as parkinsonism, gait disorder, and tremor via blockade of D2 ...

Exploring the Impact of RNU4‐2 Defects on Neurodevelopmental Disorders in a Korean Population

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Among 15 450 Korean individuals, noncoding RNU4‐2 variants, primarily the recurrent de novo n.64_65insT, make up 0.72% of neurodevelopmental disorders. Modeling and RNA‐seq suggest U4/U6 disruption and abnormal 5′ splice‐site selection, supporting routine use of WGS analysis for reanalyzing unresolved cases. ABSTRACT Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs)

Non‐epileptic paroxysmal events in Rett syndrome: A systematic review of case‐based and observational evidence

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This systematic review identifies and categorizes the spectrum of non‐epileptic paroxysmal events in Rett syndrome. Respiratory disturbances, behavioural episodes, and motor events were the most commonly reported. Improving clinician awareness and diagnostic clarity is key to avoiding unnecessary treatment and enhancing quality of life for individuals ...
