Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temperament has been defined as an individual's consistent pattern of responsiveness that is thought to be partially heritable, biologically based, present early in life, and stable over time. Few studies, however, have investigated these assumptions in a systematic and standardized manner. Here we explored cross-generational associations in measures of temperament, the role of genetic polymorphisms in these associations, contributions of older siblings to infant temperament, and stability in one component of temperament, behavioral responsivity, from infancy to adulthood. These investigations were conducted using rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) at the California National Primate Research Center. Temperament ratings were conducted on 3-4 month old animals after a 25-hour biobehavioral assessment. Factor analysis revealed a four factor structure of temperament. Females assessed as infants have reproduced and their offspring have also been evaluated through the standardized testing paradigm. In the first study presented here, we explore the relationship between measures of temperament in mothers and their first-born offspring and the role of genetic sensitivity in establishing the strength of these associations. Canonical correlation analysis revealed statistically significant associations between factor scores of mothers and sons, but not mothers and daughters. Further, offspring possessing the high activity, "low risk", alleles of the rhMAOA-LPR or rh5-HTTLPR showed statistically significant canonical correlations, whereas those possessing other alleles did not, suggesting differential genetic sensitivity to the normative early experience of maternal temperament. We were also interested in contributions of older siblings to the development of temperament in infant rhesus monkeys. Siblings were not similar to each other in measures of temperament. Infants had higher scores than their older sibling (also assessed at 3-4 months of age) on the Gentle and Confident, as well as lower scores on the Nervous factor. When assessed across temperament factors, infant Vigilant temperament factor scores were most strongly predicted by their older siblings' Gentle, Vigilant, and Confident scores. Interestingly, siblings who were not reared together showed strong associations in Vigilant temperament factor scores. This suggests that consistency in genes and shared experiences influence the development of this temperament factor. Additionally, non-shared experiences may affect variability between siblings, with the presence of older siblings contributing to these effects. Finally, we assessed stability in behavioral measures of temperament in 124 female rhesus monkeys in both infancy (3-4mo.) and adulthood (6yrs). At both time-points, animals were relocated from their homecage to a novel environment and behavioral responsiveness was measured from a 5-min focal observation. Two infant behavioral factors have been previously identified: Activity and Emotionality. Here we report several consistencies in the expression of behavioral responsivity from infancy to adulthood. Canonical correlation analyses revealed that infant behavioral factor scores were predictive of adult behaviors upon introduction to the novel environment, but not after a period of adaptation. This indicates that infant measures of behavioral responsivity are dispositional characteristics that are consistent over time. Taken together, these studies reveal considerable associations in measures of temperament between mother-offspring and sibling dyads, genetic sensitivity to early normative experience, and evidence of stability in behavioral measures of temperament from infancy to adulthood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March, 1974, an International Symposium was held at the Harmonie Club in New York to discuss a highly pertinent problem in today's research: the "Rele vance of the Animal Psychopathological Model to the Human." This meeting was sponsored by the Kittay Foundation, which brought together an outstanding group of scientists involved in widely different fields of research. This volume, it is hoped, will convey the tone of lively and cordial exchange between inter nationally renowned investigators, including Dr. I. Eibl-Eibesfeldt from Germany, Dr. Robert A. Hinde from England, Dr. Edward F. Domino from Michigan, and Dr. Pierre Pichot from France, Chairman of the Steering Committee. In his welcoming address, Mr. Sol Kittay reminded us that man has achieved remarkable control over his environment but not over himself, and he suggested that we should reexamine our ancestral origins, and search in animal behavior for clues to the understanding of normal and abnormal behavior in man.

Download or read book Environments as Therapy for Brain Dysfunction written by Roger Walsh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the 1975 Winter Conference on Brain Research a series of workshops were held to discuss the role of the sensory environment in the etiology and therapy of brain dysfunction. The participants represented a broad range of disciplines ranging from basic neuro science through human development psychology. They were linked by a common belief that the role of the sensory environment in brain dysfunction had received insufficient attention. Each had made contributions to this question in their own respective disciplines and it was hoped that this meeting would provide an opportunity for cross fertilization and synthesis. From these workshops this book evolved. Its production would have been impossible without the help of many people. Anna Taylor's flexibility allowed the holding of a larger than normal workshop, while the authors bore up well under editorial pressure to meet deadlines. Linda Coleman and Phyllis Straw provided excellent support from Plenum while Therese Linden gave editorial assistance. Valarie Munden, Rosemary Schmele, and Estelle Hoffman did an excellent job of typing. RNW was supported by a Fellowship from the Foundations' Fund for Research in Psychiatry. As always, our families provided continuous support and encouragement. To all these people and more we say thank you. Roger N. Walsh M.D., B.Med.Sc., Dip.Psychol., Ph.D. William T. Greenough, Ph.D.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Social Neuroscience written by Jean Decety and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complexities of the brain and nervous system make neuroscience an inherently interdisciplinary pursuit, one that comprises disparate basic, clinical, and applied disciplines. Behavioral neuroscientists approach the brain and nervous system as instruments of sensation and response; cognitive neuroscientists view the same systems as a solitary computer with a focus on representations and processes. The Oxford Handbook of Social Neuroscience marks the emergence of a third broad perspective in this field. Social neuroscience emphasizes the functions that emerge through the coaction and interaction of conspecifics, the neural mechanisms that underlie these functions, and the commonality and differences across social species and superorganismal structures. With an emphasis on the neural, hormonal, cellular, and genetic mechanisms underlying social behavior, social neuroscience places emphasis on the associations and influences between social and biological levels of organization. This complex interdisciplinary perspective demands theoretical, methodological, statistical, and inferential rigor to effectively integrate basic, clinical, and applied perspectives on the nervous system and brain. Reflecting the diverse perspectives that make up this field, The Oxford Handbook of Social Neuroscience brings together perspectives from across the sciences in one authoritative volume.
