Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the long-term effects of prenatal psychosocial stress, specifically social-defeat stress (SDS), on the behavior of adult mice born to stressed mothers.
- Pregnant mice were exposed to aggressive male mice for four days, and their offspring were assessed for spontaneous activity, anxiety-like behavior, and social interactions at 10 weeks old.
- Results showed that offspring from the stressed group exhibited reduced interest in unfamiliar mice, altered activity patterns in new environments, and significant behavioral changes in response to stress, indicating potential developmental issues linked to prenatal exposure to SDS.
