Early life programming of innate fear and fear learning in adult female rats (2008)
Journal Article
Stevenson, C. W., Meredith, J. P., Spicer, C. H., Mason, R., & Marsden, C. A. (2009). Early life programming of innate fear and fear learning in adult female rats. Behavioural Brain Research, 198(1), 51-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2008.10.021

The early rearing environment can impact on emotional reactivity and learning later in life. In this study the effects of neonatal maternal separation (MS) on innate fear and fear learning were assessed in the adult female rat. Pups were subjected to...

Early life programming of hemispheric lateralization and synchronization in the adult medial prefrontal cortex (2008)
Journal Article
Stevenson, C. W., Halliday, D. M., Marsden, C. A., & Mason, R. (2008). Early life programming of hemispheric lateralization and synchronization in the adult medial prefrontal cortex. Neuroscience, 155(3), 852-863. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2008.06.013

Neonatal maternal separation (MS) in the rat increases the vulnerability to stressors later in life. In contrast, brief handling (H) in early life confers resilience to stressors in adulthood. Early life programming of stress reactivity may involve t... Read More about Early life programming of hemispheric lateralization and synchronization in the adult medial prefrontal cortex.
