Stressful stimuli during pregnancy induce complex effects that influence the development of
offspring. These effects can be prevented by environmental manipulations during the early …

Prenatal stress greatly influences the ability of an individual to manage stressful events in
adulthood. Such vulnerability may result from abnormalities in the development and …

Exposure of rats to restraint stress during late pregnancy produces offspring with a variety of
behavioral and neurobiological alterations. It has been suggested that prenatal stress leads …

Abstract Effects of unpredictable (random) prenatal stress on the level of anxiety and
cerebral lateralization of dopamine turnover rates were studied in rats. The observation of a …

The present study was designed to investigate whether mild stress during pregnancy affects
offspring behaviors, including learning performance. Prenatal stress was induced by short …

We recently demonstrated that prolonged maternal stress produces profound and long-
lasting deficits in brain functions by programming a subset of target genes. We have now …

Responses of the central nervous system to stress are often critical to the adaptation of an
individual to its environment. In adults, such responses are greatly influenced by previous …

The effects of postnatal stress on mesolimbic dopamine (DA) functioning in 90-day-old mice
were investigated. Postnatal stress consisted of 15 min daily exposure to clean bedding …

Evidence from animal studies suggests that a period of anoxia to the fetus, a consequence
common to many birth complications, results in long-term alterations in ventral …

Short‐and long‐term effects of brief maternal separation, maternal exposure to novel male
odor, and standard rearing were compared in NMRI mice. The first condition consisted of 15 …
