Gender- and anxiety level-dependent effects of perinatal stress exposure on medial prefrontal cortex

2016    Soztutar, Erdem; Colak, Ertugrul; Ulupinar, Emel

Early life stress leads to psychopathological processes correlated with the predisposition of individuals. Prolonged development of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), playing a critical role in the cognition, personality and social behavior, makes it susceptible to adverse conditions. In this study, we evaluated the dendritic morphology of medial PFC neurons in rats subjected to perinatal stress exposure.
