| Manipulation of the Pre- and Post-Weaning Social Environment and its Effects on Prepulse Inhibition of the Acoustic Startle Response in C57BL/6 |
2008 |
1988 |
Pre-pulse inhibition (PPI) is a tool that may be used to identify how early life stress can result in a deficient adult nervous system (as represented by a deficit in sensorimotor gating). Since both animals and humans demonstrate a PPI, animal resea... |

Recent studies of early handling in inbred mice do not replicate results from previous work in rats. In addition, studies using extended periods of dam-offspring separation suffer from a lack of consistency in behavioral, physiological and neuroanato... |
| The influence of sex and handedness on the development of constructing skills during infancy |
2013 |

Towards the end of their first year, infants are initially learning to construct objects. Construction, or merging multiple objects into a single, unifying structure, requires combining cognitive and sensorimotor abilities. Since infants with a hand ... |

The Cascade Theory of Handedness Development suggests that an individual’s hand preference results from a developmental history of cascading manual asymmetries for a variety of actions throughout infancy (Michel, 1983). Infants who consistently use t... |
| The relation between handedness for reaching and unimanual handedness from 6 to 14 months |

Unimanual hand preference is a behavior in which one hand is used more often than the other when single-handedly manipulating objects. The progressive lateralization theory (Michel, 2002) of handedness proposes that handedness gradually concatenates ... |

2020 |

Cascade theory states that the development of hand preference for a simple action early in infancy will influence subsequent development of hand preference for more complex actions. To evaluate cascade theory, this study analyzed the relation of pref... |

The process of birth (parturition) has a critical impact on normal human development. Any deviations from the typical parturition process are defined clinically as birth complications, and have been linked to the development of neurological deficits.... |
| The development of a neural psychological immune endocrine model of tinnitus |
2014 |
1905 |
The empirical and systematic implications of the physiological - endocrine and neural - processes underlying an individual's experience with tinnitus are not yet fully understood. Individual differences in reaction to stressful situations, including ... |
| Does Handedness for Prehension Predict Handedness for Role-Differentiated Bimanual Manipulation During Infancy? |

The clearly observable behaviors that identify infant hand-use preferences make the development of this sensorimotor form of lateralization a valuable model for evaluating the development of other forms of lateral asymmetries of function. The current... |
| Potential postural constraints on the development of lateralized hand-use in infancy |
2010 |

Lateralized hand-use is an easily observable sensorimotor skill that can be used as a model for the exploration of the development of differential functioning between the two cerebral hemispheres, or hemispheric lateralization. However, it has been a... |
| Development of handedness for role-differentiated bimanual manipulation of objects in relation to the development of hand-use preferences for acquisition during infancy |
2014 |
1558 |
Handedness development during infancy could be represented as a progressive expansion of a hand-use preference across a wider range of increasingly complex skills. The goal of the present study was to explore the development of role-differentiated bi... |
