A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: Maternal care requires low levels of progesterone, along with sustained levels of estradiol and high levels of prolactin and oxytocin.
Question 2: Does the implantation of estradiol into the medial preoptic area (mPOA) facilitate the onset of maternal behavior in nulliparous rats?
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: Implants of estradiol to mPOA facilitates the onset of maternal behavior in nulliparous rats.
Question 3: Rat pups are born totally unable to urinate or defecate without anogenital stimulation.

B. Ne
Explanation: Rat pups are born totally unable to urinate or defecate without anogenital stimulation.
Question 4: Do the provided study materials describe specific examples or characteristics of 'rat kung-fu' postures?
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials mention 'Aggressive postures in rats (rat kung-fu)' but do not provide any detailed descriptions or specific examples of what these postures entail.
Question 5: Administration of DA antagonists to the Nucleus Accumbens (NAc) is shown to increase maternal responsiveness in rats.
