Abstract
Male rat pups required more anogenital stimulation before they began to urinate than did their sisters and males produced more urine than their female sibs during a fixed period of anogenital stimulation. These findings are interpreted as consistent with the view that neonatal mammals can manipulate the behavior of their dams.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
