    Acta Paediatr 93:1560-2. 2004
    ..Maternal odours stimulate breastfeeding activity and are implicated in individual recognition. CONCLUSION: Skin-to-skin contact and exposure to maternal odours facilitate infants' adaptation to the early postnatal environment...

    Laboratoire de Comportement Animal, CNRS URA 1291, INRA, Nouzilly, France
    Physiol Behav 67:459-62. 1999
    ..Nonetheless, all three odors elicited more pronounced behavioral responses than did the water control stimulus. This method allows rapid testing of individual chicks for odor detection and discrimination...

    R H Porter
    UMR 6073 PRC, Laboratoire de Comportement, INRA CNRS Université de Tours, 37380 Nouzilly, France
    Physiol Behav 77:151-4. 2002
    ..Once the non-parturient mares accepted their foster foal, their maternal behavior resembled that of control mothers. The positive effect of VCS on maternal acceptance may reflect a release of oxytocin triggered by this treatment...

    Laboratoire d étude du comportement animal, URA CNRS Inra 1291, Nouzilly, France
    Reprod Nutr Dev 38:441-8. 1998
    ..Chicks become familiar with specific odors as a function of early exposure. Differences between the behavior of exposed and naive chicks in the presence of orange odor may reflect neophobic responses by the controls...
  5. ncbi Preliminary evidence of a sensitive period for olfactory learning by human newborns
    O Romantshik
    Department of Paediatrics, University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia
    Acta Paediatr 96:372-6. 2007
    ..To test the hypothesis that a brief window of time immediately after delivery may be a particularly sensitive period for olfactory learning by human neonates...
