Postsuckling behavioral arousal in weanling rats (Rattus norvegicus).
Twenty-day-old litters and their dams were observed in seminatural habitats consisting of a nest compartment and adjacent open field that contained powdered rat chow. It was found that pups displayed marked bursts of activity after suckling. Independent feeding reliably followed nursing bout termination (Experiment 1). Nipple withdrawal, with or without milk transfer, induced behavioral arousal...
متن کاملA survey on helminthic infection in mice (Mus musculus) and rats (Rattus norvegicus and Rattus rattus) in Kermanshah, Iran
Parasitic infections of rodents can compromise scientific research as well as the health of the animals and humans. Based on previous studies, infection rate of parasitic helminths is different in various regions of Iran. The current survey was aimed to determine endoparasitic helminths infection in 138 trapped rodents of Kermanshah county, Iran. Mice and rats were trapped using metal snares fr...
متن کاملElevated Plus Maze for Mice
Although the mouse genome is now completely sequenced, the functions of most of the genes expressed in the brain are not known. The influence of a given gene on a specific behavior can be determined by behavioral analysis of mutant mice. If a target gene is expressed in the brain, behavioral phenotype of the mutant mice could elucidate the genetic mechanism of normal behaviors. The elevated plu...
متن کاملQuantity Discrimination in Domestic Rats, Rattus norvegicus
Quantity discrimination is a basic form of numerical competence where an animal distinguishes which of two amounts is greater in size. Whilst quantity discrimination in rats has been investigated via training paradigms, rats' natural quantity discrimination abilities without explicit training for a desired response have not been explored. This study investigated domestic rats' ability to perfor...
متن کاملBehavioral profiles displayed by rats in an elevated asymmetric plus-maze: effects of diazepam.
When rats are exposed to unknown environments where novelty and fear-inducing characteristics are present (conflictive environments), some specific behaviors are induced and exploration is apparently modulated by fear. In our laboratory, a new type of plus-maze was designed as a model of conflictive exploration. The maze is composed of four arms with different geometrical characteristics, diffe...
