The ontogeny of calcium ingestion and preference was examined in parathyroidectomized (PTX) rats. Sucklings were tested by means of oral infusion. Four-day-old neonatal rats increased ingestion of CaCl2 after PTX but the effect was not specific to calcium because intake of MgCl2 was also increased.

The ontogeny of delay versus trace eyeblink conditioning was examined in 19-, 23-, and 30-day-old rat pups. Pairings of a tone conditioned stimulus (CS) and periocular shock unconditioned stimulus (US; 100-ms) were presented in one of three conditioning paradigms: standard delay [380-ms CS, 280-ms i
## Abstract Exploration, measured by headβdipping in a holeboard, was tested in male rats at 16, 21, 28, 56, and 84 days of age. Headdipping increased with increasing age from Day 16 to Day 84, and so did the number of rears made. At all ages handled rats showed more headβdipping and made more rear
Previous studies have shown that preweanling rat pups double or triple their rates of ultrasonic vocalization (USV) when isolated immediately after brief periods of maternal interaction (potentiation). We studied the ontogenetic pattern of USV and other behavioral responses of pups to 3-min periods
