Variations in maternal care in the rat as a mediating influence for the effects of environment on development.

Physiology & behavior - 1 Aug 2003

Champagne Frances A, Francis Darlene D, Mar Adam, Meaney Michael J

Abstract excerpt

Variations in maternal care have been widely considered as a critical influence in development. In the rat, variations in maternal behavior, particularly in licking/grooming, regulate the development of endocrine, emotional and cognitive responses to stress. These studies form the basis of a potentially useful model for the study of maternal effects in mammals. In this paper we provide a detailed methodological...
