Abstract

Infant rats are born with a functional olfactory system ([Guthrie & Gall, 1999]). Within the first days of their life they begin to approach the odor of their mother in preference to the odor of a virgin female ([Leon & Moltz, 1971]). These preferences can be seen when the pups are placed in an apparatus designed to allow them to approach one of two areas on the basis of odor cues alone. Such a preference also can be induced when the natural situation is mimicked experimentally by pairing a nonmaternalodor (such as peppermint extract) with tactile stimulation of the kind that a mother might impose on her pups ([Coopersmith & Leon, 1984]). These data indicate that pups acquire their preference for the mother’s odor postnatally, rather than being born with that ability. In addition, the individuality of the odor of one mother compared to another is due to differences in their diet; mothers with identical diets are equally approached by their pups ([Leon, 1975])
