Article Synopsis
- Early-life attachment disruption can increase the risk of developing stress-related mental disorders like depression by sensitizing neuroinflammatory signals, but the exact mechanisms remain unclear.
- Research on guinea pig pups shows that isolation leads to initial anxiety-like behavior, followed by depressive-like behavior and fever, which become more pronounced with repeated isolation.
- Experiments utilizing adrenergic agonists and beta-adrenergic receptor blockers didn't demonstrate expected effects on depressive-like behavior or fever during isolation, indicating that the processes involved in developing these behaviors in young guinea pigs may differ from those observed in adult studies.
