America's Lollipop Licking Tease: The Eroticization of the Female Child in 1930s Film
This dissertation examines the eroticization of female children in film during the 1930s as a mechanism for concealing troubling realities of the Great Depression in the United States. The repressed sexuality embedded in the plots of Post Hays Code movies featuring Shirley Temple and characters …

Characterizing Purkinje Cell Responses and Cerebellar Influence on Fluid Licking in the Mouse
… water by performing stereotypical, rhythmic licking movements which are believed to be driven by central pattern generating circuits located in the brainstem. Temporal aspects of rhythmic licking behavior have been shown to be represented in the olivo-cerebellar system in the form of …

Licking behavior as a function of deprivation, stimulus quality and experience in rats
… shown that the microbehavioral components of the licking response in the rat (lick duration, lick rate, intake per second and intake per lick) can vary as a result of changes in the motivational state of the animal and the properties of the stimulus solution. Furthermore, Allison (1971) and our …

The Matching Law and Schedule: Induced Drinking
… Time allocated to lever pressing and total licking was obtained for each animal. In addition, time allocated to licking was divided into three categories; post-changeover, post-food lever, and post-pellet licking. Findings. Lever pressing ratios undermatched reinforcement ratios. Licking …

Interactions of Early-life Temperature Exposure, Offspring Genotype and Maternal Care on Later-life Maternal Care Provisioning in Female Rats
… work has studied the transmission of pup licking across generations, but there are other relevant factors that could interact with pup licking on later-life maternal care provisioning. In this thesis, I review early-life temperature exposure and offspring genotype as important factors also …

THE BEHAVIORAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE ON THE CONSUMPTION AND HEDONIC EVALUATION OF SUCROSE SOLUTIONS
… that caffeine has on the hedonic evaluation and licking microstructure of sweet solutions. In this thesis, the effect of caffeine on the intake and licking microstructure of rats offered a 10% sucrose solution was examined. In the first experiment, caffeine was added directly to the sucrose …

Patterning of Behavior in a Concurrent Variable-Interval Schedule as a Function of the Changeover Delay
… conducted to determine the temporal placement of licking in a concurrent schedule of reinforcement and to see how various changeover delays affect the temporal placement of licking. Procedure. Rats were trained to press a lever for food. Food was made available by two independent reinforcement …

Aspects of tic like behaviour and serotonergic control
… of tic like movements in mice; blinking fore-paw-licking and fore-paw-tremor were quantified and serotonergic and dopaminergic modulation was investigated. The selective dopamine D1 receptor antagonists SCH23390 and SCH39166 and dopamine D2 antagonists raclopride and sulpiride had no effect on …

The Effects of Allopregnanolone on Feeding: A Behavioural Investigation
… significantly increased the intake and licking of a sucrose solution, only when it was novel, indicating a reduction in neophobia (food related). In a lickometer/automated open field test, allopregnanolone significantly reduced thigmotaxis produced by exposure to a novel environment …

Investigação da atividade psicofarmacológica do extrato etanólico bruto de Sargassum polyceratium em modelos animais utilizando roedores
… by acetic acid as well as the time of paw licking in the second stage of formalin test (15 - 30 minutes). Motor c oordination, evaluated in rotarod test, has not been modified in the animals treated with SpEE in none of the doses. SpEE reduce d the time of paw licking in glutamate test, …

The Effect of Response Preclusion on Stereotypy and Play in a Child with Autism.
… preclusion on stereotypic behavior (climbing and licking) and on play for a child with autism. Data were collected on stereotypic responses, play behavior, and the types of play materials the participant contacted. Implementation of response preclusion was followed by both a decrease in …

Phenotypic And Electrophysiologic Characterization of a Mouse Model of Fragile X Syndrome
… assays were used, such as long term fluid licking observations, measurements of ultrasonic vocalizations (USV), and 3D tracking of whisker movements to test Fmr1 KO mice for behavioral deficits compared to their Wild type (WT) littermates. Electrophysiological techniques were employed to …

DRINKING INDUCED BY SECOND-ORDER FOOD SCHEDULES: MULTIPLE CONTROLLING FACTORS
… It was hypothesized that short-bout licking might be a terminal activity, one whose rate of occurrence varies directly with the probability of food presentations.</p><p>In Experiment 1, a contingency which required that licking occur during each component of a second-order schedule …

Circadian phase dependent effects of d-amphetamine sulfate and level of deprivation on water intake in hooded rats
… In addition, measures of the latency to begin licking and the amount of food consumed were also taken at each test session. All of the variables examined interacted significantly. Following 24 hours of water deprivation, amphetamine reduced both food and water intake at both times of day. …

The Mouthparts of Ants
… or as an up- and downwards moving shovel (licking). For collecting fluids at ad libitum food sources, workers of a given species always use only one of both techniques. The species-specific feeding technique depends on the existence of a well developed crop and on the resulting mode of …

An Interface of the Taste and Reward Systems in the Brainstem and Its Role in Feeding
… muscimol. This resulted in mice reducing their licking (relative to baseline) of sucralose, but not QHCl or water (i.e., an arrangement of non-caloric stimuli with palatable, aversive, and neutral valence). Muscimol also reduced licking of sucrose and QHCl-adulterated sucrose (i.e., caloric …

Representations of Relative Value Coding in the Orbitofrontal Cortex and Amygdala
… type in blocks 1 and 3, but not 2. Anticipatory licking behavior indicated that the monkey adapted its behavior depending upon the relative amount of expected reward. Although the reward amount associated with CS1 remained constant throughout the experiment, anticipatory licking decreased in …
