Newborn chicks show inherited variability in early social predispositions for hen-like stimuli

2016-08-24

Abstract excerpt

Predispositions of newborn vertebrates to preferentially attend to living beings and learn about them are pervasive. Their disturbance (e.g. in human neonates at risk for autism), may compromise the proper development of a social brain. The genetic bases of such predispositions are unknown. Here we take advantage of well-known visual preferences exhibited by newly-hatched domestic chicks ( Gallus gallus ) for the...
