Developmental, but not activational, roles for estradiol and its receptor in paternal and sexual behaviour of Phodopus campbelli males
Timonin, Mary Elizabeth (2008-09-17)The neuroendocrine basis of paternal behaviour is hypothesised to be homologous to that of maternal behaviour, with the expression of paternal behaviour resulting from the activation of estrogen-sensitive pathways in the ... -
A Duality in Mammalian Glucocorticoid Signaling
Hancock, Trina Melissa (2010-01-25)I tested a prevalent assumption in glucocorticoid research that states that each species has a dominant glucocorticoid, and cortisol and corticosterone are interchangeable steroids. A comprehensive analysis of historical ... -
Infant-directed behaviour in the naturally paternal male dwarf hamster, Phodopus campbelli, is neither activationally nor organizationally regulated by activity at the progesterone receptor
Thorpe, Joelle (2009-09-04)Phodopus campbelli is a naturally biparental dwarf hamster with males so paternal they will act as midwives during the birth of their litter. The hormonal regulation of parental behaviour has been well established in many ... -
Stress responses in an outbred, wild-derived hamster, Phodopus campbelli: Individuality in the cortisol response to acute restraint stress and the absence of strong association with behavioural responses to acute restraint
Guimont, Francois (2009-02-11)Glucocorticoid reactivity is often used as a biomarker of emotional stress status in animals and man. Likewise, behavioural responses of individuals to standardized stresses are also widely used to assess the magnitude of ...
