Intraspecific communication involves the activation of chemoreceptors and subsequent
activation of different central areas that coordinate the responses of the entire organism …

Mammalian females have long been known to release olfactory attraction in their offspring.
Mammary odor cues control infant state, attention and directional responses, delay distress …

Neonatal mammals are exposed to an outstandingly powerful selective pressure at birth,
and any mean to alleviate their localization effort and accelerate acceptance to orally grasp …

In olfaction, to preserve the sensitivity of the response, the bioavailability of odor molecules
is under the control of odorant-metabolizing enzymes (OMEs) expressed in the olfactory …

Birth is part of a continuum and is a major developmental change. Newborns need to adapt
rapidly to the environment in terms of physiology and behaviour, and ability to locate the …

Because of the powerful selective pressure for survival, neonatal mammals must rapidly
locate and orally seize a nipple to gain the nutritional, energetic and protective advantages …

The effect of the intensity of odour signals has rarely been investigated in the regulation of
odour-guided behaviour in young mammals. This series of experiments used the mammary …

Newborn rabbits depend on a daily nursing interaction with the mother to gain milk and to
survive. During this interaction, they localise and seize the nipples displaying a typical …

In insects, xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes were demonstrated to regulate pheromones
inactivation, clearing them from the olfactory periphery and keeping receptors ready for …

Chemosignals strongly contribute to social interactions in mammals, including mother–
young relationships. In the European rabbit, a volatile compound emitted by lactating …
