Social isolation does not affect maternal behavior. Average number of observed occurrences for maternal behaviors [(A) carry, (B) lick, (C) blanket nurse, (D) arched-back nurse, (E) passive nurse, and (F) off] obtained with dams with control litters (nonisolated) or dams with litters exposed to 6-h isolation (isolated) (n = 6 mother rats) beginning at 1000 hours. Observation sessions began at 0900 (nonisolated and isolated), 1100 (nonisolated), 1400 (nonisolated), 1630 (nonisolated and isolated), and 1900 hours (nonisolated and isolated). The maximum possible score for any dam at each relevant observation time was 8 (eight samples per observation) before/ isolation periods/after isolation: carry [F(1, 58) = 1.055/F(1, 34) = 1.000/ —), lick (F(1, 58) = 1.339/F(1, 34) = 0.34/F(1, 58) = 0.144], blanket nurse [F(1, 58) = 0.012/F(1, 34) = 0.135/F(1, 58) = 0.028], arched-back nurse [F(1, 58) = 0.000/F(1, 34) = 0.000/F(1, 58) = 0.000], passive nurse [F(1, 58) = 0.012/F(1, 34) = 0.039/F(1, 58) = 0.485], off [F(1, 58) = 0.000/F(1, 34) = 0.032/F(1, 58) = 0.158]. Error bars represent SEM. The statistical analyses for the 1100 and 1400 hours observations during isolation periods were not included. n.s., not statistically significant (repeated measures ANOVA).
