Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were calculated for behavioural parameters and basal plasma corticosterone levels, as well as between distance travelled in the EPM and behavioural parameters in the FST.
> In the present study, 24 h maternal separation on PND 9 in mice pups resulted in a 20% neuron decrease in the dentate gyrus and behavioural perseverations in the Barnes maze.
The effects of prenatal stress persist in the absence of stress in the filial generations, suggesting physiological and behavioural programming in the offspring with possibly lifelong consequences.
This study clearly stressed the need to incorporate the diversity of optimal foraging strategy existing between parasitoids and host life-history traits (physiological and behavioural characteristics) in the prediction of the host-parasitoid interactions.
Parents of outpatients reported lower child QoL levels when compared to parents of students in the general population, even when controlling for levels of emotional and behavioural problems in the child (as reported by the parents).
Three of these traits, 'Neuroticism' and 'Extraversion' in the Monash Canine Personality Questionnaire-Revised and 'Behavioural Regulation' in the Dog Impulsivity Assessment Scale, show similarities to personality traits identified in other species.
This study utilises geochemical provenancing of silcrete raw materials, in combination with chaîne opératoire analyses, to explore lithic procurement and behavioural patterns in the northern Kalahari Desert during the Middle Stone Age (MSA).
The purpose of this study was to examine the anatomical and behavioural sequelae in the normal brain associated with tactile stimulation treatment during development.
Previous studies show strong genetic components in the link between externalizing behaviour in parents and the children, such as parental drinking and behavioural control in the offspring [ 15, 16].
In addition, the rate of seizures and behavioural freezing in the surviving mice was blindly monitored by nine independent observers using a neurological score (0 5: 0,1, no seizures and freezing episodes and 5, many seizures or freezing episodes).
