Circadian rhythms and clock genes in reproduction: insights from behavior and the female rabbit's brain
Clock gene oscillations are necessary for a successful pregnancy and parturition, but little is
known about their function during lactation, a period demanding from the mother multiple …

A circadian clock in the olfactory bulb anticipates feeding during food anticipatory activity
Rabbit pups ingest food, in this case milk, once a day with circadian periodicity and are a
natural model of food anticipatory activity. During nursing, several sensory systems receive …

Artificial feeding synchronizes behavioral, hormonal, metabolic and neural parameters in mother‐deprived neonatal rabbit pups
Nursing in the rabbit is under circadian control, and pups have a daily anticipatory
behavioral arousal synchronized to this unique event, but it is not known which signal is the …

Metabolic activation of amygdala, lateral septum and accumbens circuits during food anticipatory behavior
When food is restricted to a brief fixed period every day, animals show an increase in
temperature, corticosterone concentration and locomotor activity for 2–3 h before feeding …

Food entrainment, arousal, and motivation in the neonatal rabbit pup
In the newborn rabbit, the light entrainable circadian system is immature and once a day
nursing provides the primary timing cue for entrainment. In advance of the mother's arrival …

Circadian nursing induces PER1 protein in neuroendocrine tyrosine hydroxylase neurones in the rabbit doe
E Meza, SM Waliszewski… - Journal of …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Rabbit does nurse their pups once a day with circadian periodicity and pups ingest up to
35% of their body weight in milk in< 5 min. In the doe, there is a massive release of prolactin …

Oxytocinergic cells of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus are involved in food entrainment
When food is presented at a specific time of day subjects develop intense locomotor
behavior before food presentation, termed food anticipatory activity (FAA). Metabolic and …
