Abstract: BackgroundA mother carries her young in many altricial mammals, such as cats, lions, rats and mice. During maternal carrying, the transported young assume a compact posture. We have recently shown that, in both humans and mice, the carried infants immediately calmed down and showed reductions in heart rate, distress vocalizations, and voluntary movement. The loss of the calming response in mouse pups hindered maternal retrieval efficacy. These findings suggested that the infant calming response functioned to r… Show more

“…New studies have investigated maternal retrieval behavior and pup’s calming response from a different perspective, examining them as a mutually dependent, dynamic process ( Esposito et al, 2012 , 2013 ; Yoshida et al, 2013 ). To explore this dyadic interaction in detail, we created a new experimental task of “maternal rescue of pups from a cup” (see Figure 2A ), which is meant to mimic a challenging situation in the wild.…”

“…The new state of mind could best be described as a deep tranquilization or hypnotic trance. Thus, it seems as though evolution has reused the stereotypic behavior of prey, as they are carried away in their captor's jaws, in the service of childrearing (Prestrude 1977;Brewster and Leon 1980;Webster et al 1981;Meyer et al 1984;Yoshida et al 2013;Esposito et al 2015). 8 Comparable reactions have been observed in human infants that are posturally inverted and rhythmically stimulated (Peiper 1963;Krojanker 1969;Vrugt and Pederson 1973).…”

“…Instead, the mother mouse uses her mouth to grasp a bit of skin at the back of the mouse pup's neck (Figure 2). Researchers were able to recreate this grip by pinching this same spot [3][4][5][6]. This way, the researchers had more control over the experiment.…”
