Summary Introduction
To determine: The cause for the link between maternal behavior and stress response of offspring as the Norway rat offspring whose mother don’t interact much with them grow up to be fearful and anxious in new situations.
Concept introduction:
The action of behavior is carried by the muscles in control of nervous system in response to environmental stimulus but it is also influenced by the interactions of genetic information of the organism with its surrounding environment. Thus behavior is product of both environmental and genetic factors.

Cooperative behaviour is widely found among animals. Provide the following:
1) an example of cooperative behaviour between genetically related individuals
2) an example of cooperative behaviour between unrelated individuals. For each of the examples, also describe the mechanism(s) involved in maintaining cooperative behaviours during their interactions.
An experiment was carried out to investigate proximate mechanisms of behavioural phase change in the locust Locusta fictiva (Figure 2 below). Solitarious locusts were injected with XDA, a dopamine receptor antagonist, either 1 h before or immediately after crowding them for 4 h (N=30 each). A control group of solitarious locusts received a saline injection 1 h before crowding (N=30). Locusts of all three groups were then observed in a behavioural arena to determine their probability of gregariousness (Pgreg). Briefly describe the result and discuss what conclusions you can draw about the proximate mechanism of phase change in this species.
Behavioral complexity in animals is controlled by a variety of potential sources or types of design information. Of these various sources which is most directly responsible for the difference in behavioral sophistication between contemporary humans and non-humans animals?

- Why is Drosophila melanogaster a relevant model of substance abuse disorders? Select all that apply. Partial point deduction for incorrect choices. The fruit fly lacks dopaminergic neurons, making it a good negative model for addiction. Because flies do not display dose-dependent responses to psychoactive drugs, fewer experimental treatments are needed. The fruit fly has a homologous circadian clock, which can be manipulated to investigate changes in physiological responses to drugs. Fruit flies are deuterostomes. Several fly genes responsible for level of ethanol sensitivity have human orthologs. The fruit fly also has neuropeptides secreted by brain cells that influence preference behaviors.arrow_forwardThe acquisition of memories can be demonstrated in rodents on a T-maze task. In this task, a food reward is placed in one of two arms of a T. Over many trials, a rodent is required to learn which arm contains the reward. In an experiment to determine whether the gene Homeriav is involved in memory, a mouse was trained on a T-maze. The results over five trials of training are shown: a. This task tests both innate and learned behaviors. Describe the innate behavior tested by this task. Explain how innate behaviors contribute to the survival of a species. b. A scientist reviewing this experiment notes that insufficient controls were performed to determine whether mutations in Homer1aV affects the function of physiological systems outside of the nervous system. Identify a physiological system outside of the nervous system that contributes to the performance of this task. Explain how the function of this system contributes to the task. c.

- A scientific study demonstrated that rat mothering behavior impacts the stress response in their pups. Rats that were born and grew up with attentive mothers showed low activation of stress-response genes later in life, while rats with inattentive mothers had high activation of stress-response genes in the same situation. An additional study that swapped the pups at birth (i.e., rats born to inattentive mothers grew up with attentive mothers and vice versa) showed the same positive effect of attentive mothering. How do genetics and/or epigenetics explain the results of this study?arrow_forwardThe brown-nosed tweety bird can be found in both urban and wild environments. Researchers collected 100 birds from a forest, and divided them into two groups of 50 birds, each with 25 males and 25 females. One group was released into the forest and the other into a nearby city. After 1 year, a group of hardworking students collected all 100 birds and measured stress indices associated with signalling by their "stress glucocorticoid hormone", corticosterone (a steroid). They find that compared to the forest birds, the urban birds have greater levels of a stressed phenotype. Which of the following observations is MOST LIKELY to be part of the explanation for this observation? The urban birds have similar levels of corticosterone, but higher levels of the membrane receptor for this glucocorticoid The urban birds have genetic differences in their glucocorticoid receptor to give it higher affinity, making them more sensitive to corticosterone. The urban birds have lower expression of genes…arrow_forwardLooking at Fig. 3a and 3b, how do you know that 3a has a significant difference and that Fig. 3b does not? In the euthyroid HT induces ultrastructure changes in frontal synapses section of the results section the authors wrote “Quantitatively, the ultrastructure of the frontal lobe neurons revealed lower synaptic density (Fig. 5c), fewer presynaptic vesicles (Fig. 5d), shorter active zone length (Fig. 5e), thinner postsynaptic densities (Fig. 5g), and decreased synaptic curvature (Fig. 5h) in the HT mice compared with those in the Con mice.” Based on this quote would you expect nerve transmission to be faster or slower in HT mice?arrow_forward
