Early life programming of fear conditioning and extinction in adult male rats (2009)
Journal Article
Stevenson, C. W., Spicer, C. H., Mason, R., & Marsden, C. A. (2009). Early life programming of fear conditioning and extinction in adult male rats. Behavioural Brain Research, 205(2), 505-510. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2009.08.005

The early rearing environment programs corticolimbic function and neuroendocrine stress reactivity in adulthood. Although early environmental programming of innate fear has been previously examined, its impact on fear learning and memory later in lif...

Neonatal maternal separation alters reward-related ultrasonic vocalizations in rat dams (2009)
Journal Article
Stevenson, C. W., Goodwin, P. E., Tunstall, B., Spicer, C. H., Marsden, C. A., & Mason, R. (2009). Neonatal maternal separation alters reward-related ultrasonic vocalizations in rat dams. Behavioural Brain Research, 200(1), 232-236. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2009.01.035

We examined the effects of brief or long durations of repeated maternal separation (MS) on ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) in rat dams. 50-kHz USVs putatively identified as maternal in origin were emitted only immediately after pups were returned fol...

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...
