| Popis: | Following single doses of neurotropics such as ethanol, phenobarbital-Na, reserpine, or haloperidol, or after short term hypoxia or electroconvulsion, retrieving in lactating Meriones unguiculatus may be severely disturbed. Mongolian gerbils were studied to see whether diminished retrieving behavior is always accompanied by reduced weight gain of the pups, also indicating the disturbance of other maternal behavior or reduced lactating. Since weight gain of the pups is not diminished following alcohol, haloperidol and reserpine, it may be concluded that the cause of reduced retrieving behavior is rather to be seen in the disturbance of higher neuronal functions than in impairment of the hormonal basis of maternal behavior. |
