Early life stress (ELS) developmental effects have been widely studied by preclinical
researchers. Despite the growing body of evidence from ELS models, such as the maternal …

Components of the communication system between infant and adult rodents based on
ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) of infants are analyzed. USVs are most often emitted from a …

It is commonly assumed, but has rarely been demonstrated,, that sex differences in
behaviour arise from sexual dimorphism in the underlying neural circuits,. Parental care is a …

Inbred mouse strains are classically used to search for the genes associated with behavioral
traits, including emotionality. To distinguish genetic and environmental contributions to the …

With the advent of transgenic and other genetic engineering technologies, the versatility and
usefulness of the mouse as a model in biomedical research has soared. Revised to reflect …

The reproductive strategy of many mammalian species that give birth to altricial young
involves intense and prolonged care of their offspring. In most cases, the mother provides all …

Ultrasonic vocalizations or calls produced by young rodents have been associated with
aspects of maternal behavior, in particular retrieving. We reviewed the methods of study …

In this paper, we review the scientific literature on maternal behaviour in commensal house
mice and laboratory mice. Similar to other altricial species, female mice prepare a nest …

To support the well-being of the parent–infant relationship, the neuromolecular mechanisms
of parental behaviors should be clarified. From neuroanatomical analyses in laboratory rats …

The DBA/2J mouse is a model of age-related pigmentary glaucoma in humans. Visual
detection, pattern discrimination and visual acuity were evaluated in DBA/2J, C57BL/6J, B6 …
