Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Mammalian Vocalization is designed as a broad and comprehensive, but well-balanced book, written from the neuroscience point of view in the broad sense of this term. This well-illustrated Handbook pays particular attention to systematically organized details but also to the explanatory style of the text and internal cohesiveness of the content, so the successive chapters gradually develop a consistent story without losing the inherent complexity. Studies from many species are included, however rodents dominate, as most of the brain investigations were done on these species. The leading idea of the Handbook is that vocalizations evolved as highly adaptive specific signals, which are selectively picked up by the brain. The brain serves as a receptor and behavioural amplifier. Brain systems will be described, which allow vocal signals rapidly changing the entire state of the organism and trigger vital biological responses, usually also with accompanying emission of vocalizations. Integrative brain functions leading to vocal outcome will be described, along with the vocalization generators and motor output to larynx and other supportive motor subsystems. The last sections of the Handbook explains bioacoustic structure of vocalizations, present understanding of information coding, and origins of the complex semiotic/ semantic content of vocalizations in social mammals. The Handbook is a major source of information for professionals from many fields, with a neuroscience approach as a common denominator. The handbook provides consistent and unified understanding of all major aspects of vocalization in a monographic manner, and at the same time, gives an encyclopaedic overview of major topics associated with vocalization from molecular/ cellular level to behavior and cognitive processing. It is written in a strictly scientific way but clear enough to serve not only for specialized researchers in different fields of neuroscience but also for academic teachers of neuroscience, including behavioural neuroscience, affective neuroscience, clinical neuroscience, neuroethology, biopsychology, neurolingusitics, speech pathology, and other related fields, and also for research fellows, graduate and other advanced students, who widely need such a source publication. The first comprehensive handbook on what we know about vocalization in Mammalians Carefully edited, the handbook provides an integrated overview of the area International list of highly regarded contributors, including Jaak Pankseep (Washington State University), David McFarland (Oxford), John D.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postpartum depression is a serious psychiatric condition that has deleterious effects on the mother and poses a risk for the mother-infant relationship and ultimately the infant's development. Maternal anhedonia and social communication deficits are two major clinical features central to postpartum depression that likely contribute to deficits in parenting. The present study used Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) mother rats, an animal model of depression which we have developed to examine the postpartum disorder, to investigate the relationship between maternal anhedonia, social communication deficits and parenting disturbances. Rats produce ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) in different social contexts, and USVs are becoming an increasingly valuable assay for behavioral phenotyping. Alterations of the ultrasound patterns have been reported in several models of neuropsychiatric disorders, including those associated with communicative/social deficits, and can also provide reliable insight into the affective state of the mother rat during social interactions with her litter. In the first study, WKY and control Sprague-Dawley (SD) postpartum females were examined for their affective responses to social cues from pups, as measured by their ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) during a 30-minute maternal behavior test following 20 minutes of mother-litter separation. Total number of calls, acoustic frequency and duration of calls, and individual USV profiles were analyzed in conjunction with maternal behavior. Both WKY and SD mothers predominantly produced ~50 kHz USVs when interacting with the pups in the maternal behavior test. WKY mothers emitted more trill-type USVs as is compared with SD mothers. Similarly, WKY mothers exhibited substantial disturbances in theirmaternal behavior. A second experiment evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of adenosine A2A receptor antagonism as a novel treatment strategy for postpartum depression. Emerging evidence indicates that the neuromodulator adenosine, particularly through actions on adenosine A2A receptors, modulates behavioral functions associated with the mesocorticolimbic DA system, including cognitive and motivational processes. Results indicate that acute MSX-3 administration did not attenuate the parenting disturbances of WKY or affect the USV emissions of either strain. Taken together, these results provide evidence for the presence of maternal USVs during motherlitter interactions, and further suggest that variations in USVs produced by mothers during social interaction with their pups may function as an index of their affect. Rat USVs may be used to study the neurobiological mechanisms underlying maternal affect in animal models of postpartum disorders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central goal of this study was to describe maternal, infant, and dyadic contributions to mother-infant interaction processes at 7 months postpartum; i.e., how both mother and infant contribute to the quality of the interaction, in an understudied mostly low-income, African American sample. Eighty-five mothers and their 7-month-old infants participated. Dyads were videotaped during the Still-Face Paradigm (SFP) to analyze how a social stressor (maternal still-face) affects infant reactivity and mother-infant social interaction processes. The SFP includes 3 successive 2-minute episodes: normal play (baseline), maternal still-face, during which the mother holds a neutral, expressionless face, and resumption of normal play (reunion). Multiple dimensions of maternal and infant behavior and affect were scored from the videotapes by masked reliable coders. The data were analyzed using ANCOVAs, paired-sample t-tests, hierarchical linear regression, and the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM). The still-face effect was replicated in this sample, although infant sex did not moderate the results. APIM results provided evidence for bidirectional effects in mother-infant positive affective exchanges from baseline to reunion episodes, with larger effects observed for mothers' positive affect during baseline play to infants' positive affect during the reunion. Findings confirm that both mothers and infants contributed to dyadic interaction processes, but mothers appear to play a larger role in dyadic positive affect exchanges at 7 months postpartum.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to assess the effects early experience in the nest on the development of maternal behavior, rats were separated, handled, or left undisturbed over the first week of life. Following weaning, animals mere either exposed to foster pups continuously over a five day period, or mere left undisturbed. The results of combined effects of early experience and juvenile maternal experience on adult maternal, emotional, and motivated behaviors were assessed by postpartum maternal behavior, open field, and conditioned place preference tests. Analyses of juvenile behavior showed no effects of early experience in the nest. Adult maternal behaviors, however, were affected by both early nest experience and juvenile maternal experience. The most consistent effect was found for separated animals with juvenile experience as they demonstrated longer latencies to initiate maternal behaviors when compared to controls. Maternal experience during the juvenile period seems to inhibit adult matemal behavior in separated animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book you’ll find a thoughtfully edited chronicle of the unique convergence of genetic, hormonal, social, and environmental forces that influence a woman’s mental health over the course of her life. Both comprehensive and nuanced, Women’s Reproductive Mental Health Across the Lifespan captures the science, clinical observation, and collective wisdom of experts in the field. Professionals and laypersons alike are well-advised to make room on their bookshelves for this one!" - Margaret Howard, Ph.D., Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University; Women & Infants Hospital, Providence RI "This outstanding collection of work is an important, timely, and much needed resource. Dr. Diana Lynn Barnes has been instrumental in bringing attention to the needs of perinatal women for decades. In Women's Reproductive Health Across the Lifespan, she brilliantly unites the medical world of reproductive life events with the psychiatric and psychological world of mental health issues associated with them. Her expertise, combined with contributions by distinguished leaders in the field, create a volume of work that should be studied carefully by every medical and mental health provider who works with women." - Karen Kleiman, MSW, The Postpartum Stress Center, Author of Therapy and the Postpartum Woman "Finally, a book that addresses the entire scope of women’s reproductive mental health spanning the gamut from puberty to menopause. The list of chapter contributors reads like a who’s who of international experts. Unique to this book is its focus on the interaction of genetics, hormonal fluctuations, and the social environment. It is a must addition for the libraries of clinicians and researchers in women’s reproductive mental health". - Cheryl Tatano Beck, DNSc, CNM, FAAN, Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor, School of Nursing, University of Connecticut Pregnancy and childbirth are generally viewed as joyous occasions. Yet for numerous women, these events instead bring anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. Increased interest in risk reduction and early clinical intervention is bringing reproductive issues to the forefront of women's mental health. The scope of Women's Reproductive Mental Health across the Lifespan begins long before the childbearing years, and continues well after those years have ended. Empirical findings, case examples, and dispatches from emerging areas of the field illuminate representative issues across the continuum of women's lives with the goal of more effective care benefitting women and their families. Chapter authors discuss advances in areas such as fertility treatment and contraception, and present current thinking on the psychological impact of pregnancy loss, menopause, cancer, and other stressors. These expert contributors emphasize the connections between an individual's biology and psychology and cultural expectations in shaping women's mental health, and the balance between a client's unique history and current clinical knowledge clinicians need to address disorders. Included in the coverage: The experience of puberty and emotional wellbeing. Body image issues and eating disorders in the childbearing years. Risk assessment and screening during pregnancy. Normal and pathological postpartum anxiety. Mood disorders and the transition to menopause. The evolution of reproductive psychiatry. A reference with an extended shelf life, Women's Reproductive Mental Health across the Lifespan enhances the work of researchers and practitioners in social work, clinical psychology, and psychiatry, and has potential relevance to all health care professionals.
