Article Synopsis
- A study investigates the impact of neonatal ventral hippocampus lesions (nVHL) on maternal behavior in female rats, which is relevant for understanding schizophrenia-like symptoms.
- Female rats with nVHL showed increased movement, reduced social interaction, and altered responses to sudden sounds compared to control (sham) rats.
- Despite all nVHL rats nursing their pups, they exhibited significant impairments in behaviors such as licking, nest building, and showed abnormal pup retrieval patterns, highlighting potential disruptions in brain systems related to social behavior and cognition.
