Article Synopsis
- Ethanol exposure and early life stress were studied in adolescent rats to see how they affect brain development and behavior, with a focus on differences between sexes.
- Rats were divided into four groups: control, maternal separation, ethanol exposure, and a combination of both, and underwent various behavioral tests during adolescence.
- Findings indicated that ethanol exposure led to anxiety and increased dendritic growth in both sexes, while maternal separation influenced weight and motivation differently between males and females, suggesting that early life stressors can have sex-dependent impacts on behavior.
