Journal ArticleDOI
Periadolescence: Age-dependent behavior and psychopharmacological responsivity in rats
Linda P. Spear,Stephen C. Brake +1 more
TL;DR: Periadolescent rats are hyperactive and engage in more conspecific play behavior than younger or older rats, but perform poorly in more complex appetitive and avoidance learning tasks in which increases in locomotor activity do not improve performance, perhaps as a result of age-specific alterations in selective attention or stimulus processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of intraoral and gastrointestinal cues in the control of sucking and milk consumption in rat pups.
TL;DR: In all cases, a particular mode of sucking ("rhythmic" sucking) is most affected by experimental manipulation, and appears to be an important component of the pup's ingestive behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromyographic patterns associated with nonnutritive sucking in 11-13-day-old rat pups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suckling in the rat: evidence for patterned behavior during sleep.
TL;DR: Electrophysiological recordings showed that 2-wk-old rats are actually asleep 66% of the time while suckling on the dam, demonstrating the embedding of a vital early behavior pattern in the states of sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mother-infant feeding interactions in preterm and full-term infants
Goldie Alfasi,Francesca A. Schwartz,Stephen C. Brake,William P. Fifer,Alan R. Fleischman,Myron A. Hofer +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that preterm and full-term dyads may face different tasks in their mutual adaptations during the first month of life.
