Observed the onset of maternal behavior in 20 Sprague-Dawley virgin female rats during pup induction, and later compared their behavior with that of 8 lactating mothers. During induction, the onset was sudden rather than gradual, and during maternal care their behavior was similar in almost all respects to that of lactating mothers. Reinduction of maternal behavior in virgins occurred with a shorter latency than during the original induction, and induction of maternal behavior in formerly lactating mothers was equally short. Results support the idea that postpartum maternal behavior is nonhormonally based.(40 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
