“…The behavior of these infant monkeys were similar to orphaned and hospitalized children separated from their caregiver: the infants appeared depressed-like during separation and the monkeys showed enduring emotional and cognitive problems that continued into adulthood. Research over the past decades has greatly expanded on this research and has identified both immediate and enduring impact of being separated from the mother in nonhuman primates, and extended this work to demonstrate that the quality of maternal care programs neurobehavioral development (Barr et al, 2004;Cirulli et al, 2009;Conti et al, 2012;Coplan et al, 1996;Coplan et al, 1998;Corcoran et al, 2012;Dettling, Feldon, & Pryce, 2002;Harlow & Suomi, 1970;Howell & Sanchez, 2011;Macri, Spinelli, Adriani, Dee Higley, & Laviola, 2007;McCormack, Sanchez, Bardi, & Maestripieri, 2006;Pryce et al, 2005;Rosenblum et al, 1994;Sanchez, 2006;Sanchez, Ladd, & Plotsky, 2001;Stevens, Leckman, Coplan, & Suomi, 2009;Suomi, 1991Suomi, , 2003.The most prolific animal model research on infant neural development has occurred in rodents, which has also provided information on the immediate and enduring effects of early life caregiving, using primarily the model of maternal separation, although there was focus on the effects of sensory stimulation (Denenberg, 1963;Hennessy, Li, & Levine, 1980;Hofer, 1978Hofer, , 1984Hofer, , 1994Levine & Lewis, 1959;McIver, 1965). Convergence of research results across rodents and humans has been reviewed elsewhere and I highlight a few reviews, although many other excellent reviews are available (Branchi & Cirulli, 2014; CadizMoretti, Otero-Garcia, Martinez-Garcia, & Lanuza, 2014;Callaghan & Tottenham, 2016;Chen & Baram, 2016;Daskal...…”
