Researchers at Jaume I University in Castellon de la Plana, Spain, have conducted a study on the impact of early-life stress on neural networks and behaviors. They found that maternal separation with early weaning led to decreased activity of somatostatin-expressing neurons in the amygdala, resulting in long-term behavioral effects such as reduced sociability and increased aggression in male mice. By activating these neurons, the researchers were able to reverse these negative behavioral outcomes, highlighting a potential link between early-life stress and maladaptive behaviors. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying social and affective behaviors. [Extracted from the article] |
