  1. ncbi Prenatal thumb sucking is related to postnatal handedness
    Peter G Hepper
    School of Psychology, The Queen s University, Belfast, BT7 1NN, UK
    Neuropsychologia 43:313-5. 2005
    ..The study indicates that the prenatal exhibition of lateralised motor behaviour, in this case thumb sucking, is indeed related to postnatal handedness, perhaps more strongly for right 'handed' fetuses than left 'handed' fetuses...
  2. ncbi How many footsteps do dogs need to determine the direction of an odour trail?
    Peter G Hepper
    Canine Behaviour Centre, School of Psychology, Queens University Belfast, Belfast, BT7 1NN, UK
    Chem Senses 30:291-8. 2005
    ..The process by which dogs may determine direction from odour cues is discussed...
  3. ncbi Fetal brain function in response to maternal alcohol consumption: early evidence of damage
    Peter G Hepper
    Fetal Behaviour Research Centre, School of Psychology, Queen s University Belfast, Belfast, UK
    Alcohol Clin Exp Res 36:2168-75. 2012
    ..This study explored the brain function of the fetus, at the time of exposure to alcohol, to examine its effect on information processing and stability of performance...
  4. ncbi Prenatal and early sucking influences on dietary preference in newborn, weaning, and young adult cats
    P G Hepper
    School of Psychology, Queens University of Belfast, Belfast, BT7 1NN Northern Ireland, UK
    Chem Senses 37:755-66. 2012

  5. ncbi Sex differences in fetal habituation
    Peter G Hepper
    School of Psychology, Queen s University, Belfast BT7 INN, UK
    Dev Sci 15:373-83. 2012
    ..This study suggests that research examining prenatal behaviour should consider the factor of fetal sex. This may be particularly pertinent where there is an intention to use the results diagnostically...
  6. ncbi Olfactory discrimination in the western lowland gorilla, Gorilla gorilla gorilla
    Peter G Hepper
    Animal Behaviour Centre, School of Psychology, Queen s University of Belfast, Belfast, BT7 1NN, UK
    Primates 53:121-6. 2012
    ..No dishabituation was noted when using water as the stimulus across all trials or when used as the novel odour. Overall, results show that gorillas are able to discriminate between odours...
  7. ncbi Individually identifiable body odors are produced by the gorilla and discriminated by humans
    Peter G Hepper
    School of Psychology, Queen s University Belfast, BT7 1NN, Northern Ireland, UK
    Chem Senses 35:263-8. 2010
    ..The results indicate that gorillas do produce individually identifiable body odors and introduce the possibility that odor cues may play a role in gorilla social behavior...

    Fetal Behaviour Research Centre, School of Psychology, The Queen s University of Belfast, Belfast BT7 INN, UK

    ..It is suggested that these effects are mediated by alcohol exerting an effect on the inhibitory pathways controlling startle behaviour...

    P G Hepper
    Fetal Behaviour Research Centre, School of Psychology, The Queen s University of Belfast, N Ireland, UK
    Neuropsychologia 36:531-4. 1998
    ..The possibility that early differential motor behaviour may contribute to subsequent laterality of behaviour and asymmetrical brain growth, must be considered...
