Effects of early deprivation on plasma cortisol titres in infancy. a Plasma cortisol titres in ED common marmosets (N = 6) in samples obtained immediately after removal of the infant from the carrying parent (Pre-ED, 1100 hours) and immediately after a 30-min ED session (Post-ED, 1130 hours). There was not a significant effect of condition on plasma cortisol titres. b.
