Abstract
The neurobehavioral evolution of the normally growing rat has been investigated by means of a series of reflex, motor and sensory tests from birth up to weaning. A sequential development of behavioral reponses has been assessed over this 21-days period, the 2nd week following birth representing an important step in the neurobehavioral maturation of the rat. This rat model may be considered as an useful reference to evaluate changes that may be induced by pharmacological and toxicological agents in the developing exposed rat.Keywords
