Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of maternal behavior in virgin rats after intracerebroventricular administration of oxytocin
TL;DR: Elevated or recently elevated levels of estrogen may be necessary for the induction of full maternal behavior by oxytocin, functions related to parturition and nuturing in virgin female rats.

The Neurobiology of Parental Behavior
Michael Numan,Thomas R. Insel +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents a new perspective on the role of environmental cues in the development of maternal behavior and investigates their role in the regulation of maternal aggression and aggression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medial preoptic area and onset of maternal behavior in the rat.
TL;DR: It was concluded that the medial preoptic area (MPOA) is involved not only in the maintenance of maternal behavior but in the hormonally mediated onset of mothers behavior and the onset of maternalbehavior induced in virgin females by pup stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postpartum depression: Etiology, treatment and consequences for maternal care
TL;DR: The literature on postnatal depression in the mother and its effect on mother-infant interactions is reviewed and interventions during gestation and postpartum that may improve maternal symptoms and behavior and thus alter developmental outcome of the offspring are discussed.

Journal ArticleDOI
Nonhormonal basis of maternal behavior in the rat.
TL;DR: All rats have a basic level of maternal responsiveness which is independent of hormonal stimulation, and there were only minor differences in the latencies for the onset of maternal behavior among the various groups.

Estrogen Secretion by the Rat Ovary in Vivo During the Estrous Cycle and Pregnancy
TL;DR: The changes in estrogen concentration in ovarian venous plasma were similar but the major peak on the day of proestrus was sharper, being at about 1000 to 1500 hr on account of changes in blood flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hormonal induction of maternal behavior in the ovariectomized nulliparous rat
TL;DR: Of the 10 experimental animals, each, without exception, showed full maternal behavior at between 35 and 40 hr, which represents a significant reduction in latency from the average of 6–7 days characteristic of untreated nulliparae, but represents as well a uniformity in time of onset closely approaching that exhibited by the puerperal female.

Progesterone and Pregn-4-en-20α-ol-3-one in Ovarian Venous Blood During Various Reproductive States in the Rat1
TL;DR: The secretory rates of progesterone and pregn-4-en-20α-ol-3-one in ovarian venous blood were investigated in various reproductive states of individual rats, finding that values obtained at various stages were greater than those obtained from pseudopregnan...
