Answer: Birth elicits maternal behaviors (grooming, cleaning, consumption of the placenta), which may reflect birth canal distention, as well as the stimuli associated with the pups
(olfactory, auditory cues). The latter alone will elicit maternal behavior in a virgin rodent. Hormones affect maternal behavior but do not organize these (males will show such behaviors, and maternal behaviors occur in virgin mice).
