Behavioral profile of a 10-day-old Guinea Pig upon maternal separation
Infants display two opposed behavior phases upon maternal separation. In the first phase, which last until one hour after maternal separation, infants exhibit increased exploratory activity and high number of calls (A and C). In the second phase, infants display a depressive-like behavior with increased immobility, crouched posture and eyes closed, and suppression of calls (B and D).
