Prenatal and postnatal determinants of the 1st suckling episode in albino rats
Abstract
Conditions under which an odor could elicit the 1st nipple attachment in albino rats were investigated. In Experiment I rats exposed prenatally and immediately after birth to citral, a lemon scent, suckled the washed nipples of an anesthetized, parturient dam when the nipples had been scented with citral. Moreover, these rats did not suckle the normal, unwashed nipples of these dams. In Experiment II rats were exposed to citral either (a) in utero, (b) immediately after birth, (c) both pre‐ and post‐natally, or (d) not at all. Only rats in Group (c) attached to washed, citral‐scented nipples and did not suckle the normal unwashed nipples that elicited suckling in control rats. These findings suggest that prenatal and postnatal events can determine which olfactory stimuli elicit the newborn rat's 1st nipple attachment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
