Behaviour and experiences of dogs during the first year of life predict the outcome in a later temperament test (2014, background): “The early postnatal period is crucial (Rosenzweig, 1984), and differences in maternal care or rearing condition can have a major impact (Caldji et al., 1998; Champagne et al., 2003; Macrí and Würbel, 2007; Foyer et al., 2013).”
Natural variations in maternal and paternal care are associated with systematic changes in oxytocin following parent-infant contact. (2010, background): “In rats, the mother’s high or low LG style was stable over time and was transmitted from mother to daughter through mechanisms of early experience (Champagne et al., 2001, 2003).”
Maternal Care and Hippocampal Plasticity: Evidence for Experience-Dependent Structural Plasticity, Altered Synaptic Functioning, and Differential Responsiveness to Glucocorticoids and Stress (2008, methodology): “These findings are in agreement with previous reports and support the view that, in general, low LG dams display a more passive maternal care style than high LG dams (Champagne et al., 2003; Menard and Hakvoort, 2007).”
“The Biological Effects of Childhood Trauma” (2014, neutral): “of pup licking/grooming, high or low levels of pup licking/grooming are considered a maternal phenotype.(106) As adults, the offspring of high licking/grooming mothers show lower plasma ACTH and cortisol responses to acute stress in comparison with animals reared by low licking/grooming mothers.”
Reversal of Maternal Programming of Stress Responses in Adult Offspring through Methyl Supplementation: Altering Epigenetic Marking Later in Life (2005, methodology): “The colony was maintained on a 12 hr light/dark schedule with lights on at 8:00 A.M. Maternal behavior was scored as described previously (Myers et al., 1989; Champagne et al., 2003).”
Maternal Care Associated with Methylation of the Estrogen Receptor-α1b Promoter and Estrogen Receptor-α Expression in the Medial Preoptic Area of Female Offspring (2006, background): “The frequency of maternal LG across a large number of mothers is normally distributed (22).”
Crushing of piglets by the mother sow (Sus scrofa) - purely accidental or a poor mother? (2005, background): “, 2003), rodents (Chiang et al., 2002; Champagne et al., 2003) domestic sheep (Ovis aries) (Arnold and Morgan, 1975; Dwyer and Lawrence, 1998) and domestic foxes, Vulpes vulpes (Braastad, 1993).”
Epigenetic regulation in psychiatric disorders (2007, background): “In rats, some mothers naturally display high levels of nurturing behaviours, such as licking, grooming and arched-back nursing (high-LG-ABN), whereas others have low levels of such behaviours (low-LG-ABN”
The Reactive Scope Model - a new model integrating homeostasis, allostasis, and stress. (2009, neutral): “less likely to show stress-induced pathology) as an adult (Caldji et al., 2000; Champagne et al., 2003).”
