Maternal behavior modulates X-linked inheritance of behavioral coping in the defensive burying test.
BACKGROUND Complex behavioral traits such as coping strategies in response to stress are usually formed by genetic and environmental influences. METHODS By exploiting the phenotypic and genotypic differences between the Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and Fischer 344 (F344) inbred rat strains, we recently identified three X chromosome-linked quantitative trait loci contributing to differences in coping st...
متن کاملDefensive burying in rodents: ethology, neurobiology and psychopharmacology.
Defensive burying refers to the typical rodent behavior of displacing bedding material with vigorous treading-like movements of their forepaws and shoveling movements of their heads directed towards a variety of noxious stimuli that pose a near and immediate threat, such as a wall-mounted electrified shock-prod. Since its introduction 25 years ago by Pinel and Treit [J. Comp. Physiol. Psychol. ...
متن کاملThe ecology and behavior of burying beetles.
Burying beetles conceal small vertebrate carcasses underground and prepare them for consumption by their young. This review places their complex social behavior in an ecological context that focuses on the evolution of biparental care and communal breeding. Both males and females provide extensive parental care, and the major benefit of male assistance is to help defend the brood and carcass fr...
متن کاملMycotoxins in Fermented Food1
Selected for study fields were several distinct provincial regions of Japan which are noted to be stable in population composition, generally conservative in the mode of life, and distinguished by especially high figures in biometrie statistics representing the Japanese characteristics of extraordinarily high incidence in death by cardiovascular diseases, stomach cancer, and hepatoma. From thes...
متن کاملDefensive Behavior against Noxious Heat Stimuli Is Declined with Aging Due to Decreased Pain-Associated Gene Expression in Drosophila
Aging is defined as a collective process that alters organism's functional capacity and appearance over the course of life. Apart from an increase in susceptibility to many diseases, aging affects the cellular system that is responsible for decoding painful stimuli. Yet, aging-associated molecular mechanisms of pain perception remains elusive. Using Drosophila, we showed a decrease in temperatu...
