Does Handedness for Prehension Predict Handedness for Role-Differentiated Bimanual Manipulation During Infancy? 2008 352 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...
Manipulation of the Pre- and Post-Weaning Social Environment and its Effects on Prepulse Inhibition of the Acoustic Startle Response in C57BL/6 2008 628 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...
Potential postural constraints on the development of lateralized hand-use in infancy 2010 450 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...

A re-evaluation of the effects of maternal care on offspring behavioral development 2011 312 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...
