The newborn rat's stress system readily habituates to repeated and prolonged maternal separation, while continuing to respond to stressors in context dependent fashionNikolaos P Daskalakis
Division of Medical Pharmacology, Leiden Amsterdam Center for Drug Research, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden University, Gorlaeus Laboratories, The Netherlands
Horm Behav 60:165-76. 2011..In conclusion, separation environment, maternal care and genotype do not affect adrenal desensitization to repeated 8 h-MS itself, but may modulate the adrenal stress-responsiveness of separated pups...
Behavioral profiling of zebrafish embryos exposed to a panel of 60 water-soluble compoundsShaukat Ali
Institute of Biology, Leiden University, Sylvius Laboratory, Sylviusweg 72, Leiden, The Netherlands
Behav Brain Res 228:272-83. 2012..We conclude that behavioral assays with zebrafish embryos could be useful for pharmaceutical efficacy and toxicity screening. The precise phenotypic outcome obtained with behavioral assay varies with compound class...
