    Separating infant monkeys from their mothers disrupted their body temperature and heart rate rhythms, causing significant phase delays. These findings highlight how disruptions in circadian systems contribute to the behavioral responses associated with loss and separation.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Chronobiology
    • Primatology

    Background:

    • The monkey mother-infant separation model is a key tool for studying depression related to grief and loss.
    • Evidence suggests a link between circadian rhythm disturbances and affective behavioral disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate circadian rhythms of temperature and heart rate in infant pigtailed monkeys during maternal separation.
    • To determine if attachment bond disruption affects circadian phase without altering other synchronizers.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 10 infant pigtailed monkeys (M. nemestrina) during 10 days of maternal separation.
    • Analyzed 176 24-h periods for heart rate (HR) and 139 for body temperature (BT) using cosine curve fitting.
    • Estimated cosine level, amplitude, and acrophase for circadian rhythm parameters.

    Main Results:

    • Observed significant decreases in the cosine level (mean) for both body temperature and heart rate.
    • Detected a delay in the acrophase (peak time) of 1-1.5 hours for both HR and BT during separation.
    • Noted progressively later acrophases post-reunion, suggesting potential free-running rhythms.

    Conclusions:

    • Circadian rhythm regulation is closely linked to affective behavior.
    • Disruption of an attachment bond can precipitate circadian phase shifts independently of other synchronizers.
    • Disturbances in circadian system regulation are a component of the reaction to loss or separation.
