Stereotypies in caged parrots, schizophrenia and autism: evidence for a common mechanismJoseph P Garner
Department of Animal Science, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Behav Brain Res 145:125-34. 2003..Finally, by parallel to human patients, there is a potential psychological distress in animals showing these behaviors...
Barbering (fur and whisker trimming) by laboratory mice as a model of human trichotillomania and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disordersJoseph P Garner
Department of Animal Science, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA
Comp Med 54:216-24. 2004..Therefore, barbering has excellent face validity as a model of trichotillomania, and may represent a refined and non-invasive model, especially for studies of the complex genetic/environmental etiologies of this disorder...
Reliability and validity of a modified gait scoring system and its use in assessing tibial dyschondroplasia in broilersJ P Garner
Department of Animal Science, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Br Poult Sci 43:355-63. 2002..6. Neither the presence nor severity of TD affected gait score, suggesting that, at least in this strain of broilers, other leg problems like slipped tendons or torsional deformities had more influence on gait impairment than did TD...
Evidence for a relationship between cage stereotypies and behavioural disinhibition in laboratory rodentsJoseph P Garner
Department of Animal Science, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis 95616, USA
Behav Brain Res 136:83-92. 2002..They also suggest that stereotypic animals may experience novel forms of psychological distress, and that stereotypy might well represent a potential confound in many behavioural experiments...
Environmental enrichment and development of cage stereotypy in Orange-winged Amazon parrots (Amazona amazonica)C L Meehan
Animal Behavior Graduate Group Department of Animal Science, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Dev Psychobiol 44:209-18. 2004..These results show that stereotypy can be both prevented and reversed with appropriate environmental modification and illustrate how studying this behavior at many points over time can provide insights into its ontogeny...
Little and often? Maintaining continued performance in an automated T-maze for miceBrianna N Gaskill
Animal Behavior and Well Being Group, Department of Animal Science, Purdue University, 915 West State Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA
Behav Processes 86:272-8. 2011..Session length/interval did not affect any outcome. We conclude that an automated maze, with suitable reward sizes, can sustain performance with low variability, at 5-10 times faster than traditional methods...
A system utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to monitor individual rodent behavior in complex social settingsChristopher L Howerton
Animal Science Department, University of California, Davis, USA
J Neurosci Methods 209:74-8. 2012..While the specific configuration of the apparatus described here was designed to answer particular experimental questions, it can be modified in various ways to accommodate different experimental designs...
Effect of sand and wood-shavings bedding on the behavior of broiler chickensS J Shields
Department of Animal Science, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616, USA
Poult Sci 84:1816-24. 2005..These results indicate that when given a choice, broilers increasingly performed many of their behaviors on sand, but if only one bedding type was provided they performed those behaviors with similar frequency on sand or wood shavings...
The effects of different bill-trimming methods on the well-being of Pekin ducksL A Gustafson
Department of Animal Science, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Poult Sci 86:1831-9. 2007....
Stereotypies and other abnormal repetitive behaviors: potential impact on validity, reliability, and replicability of scientific outcomesJoseph P Garner
Department of Animals Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
ILAR J 46:106-17. 2005..Ongoing and future work addressing these issues is outlined...
Research Grants
- Mouse Model Of Autistic Repetitive BehaviorJoseph Garner; Fiscal Year: 2003..Developing a model of these symptoms in mice opens up several exciting new avenues for future research into environmental factors, genetic factors, and possible therapies. ..
