- The study looked at how stress during pregnancy and separating baby rats from their moms affected hormone and anxiety levels in the mother rats.
- They divided the mother rats into four groups: one with prenatal stress, one with maternal separation, one with both, and one control group with no stress.
- The results showed that stressed rats had different hormone levels and behavior compared to the control group, like less fear and changes in certain hormones like oxytocin and CRH.
Background: Social isolation (SI) early in life produces behavioral and cognitive abnormalities. On the contrary, environmental enrichment (EE) offers beneficial effects on brain plasticity and development. This study was designed to examine how EE affects memory functions, anxiety level, and the expression levels of memory/anxiety-related genes such as NR2A, NR2B, BDNF, and cFos in the hippocampus of socially isolated rats.
