Variations in maternal care affect the development of individual differences in neuroendocrine
responses to stress in rats. As adults, the offspring of mothers that exhibited more licking …

… The results of a recent study (F Champagne, J Diorio, MJ Meaney, unpublished data)
reflect the functional importance of such differences in oxytocin receptor levels. Thus, …

Human brain development occurs within a socioeconomic context and childhood socioeconomic
status (SES) influences neural development — particularly of the systems that subserve …

Here we report that increased pup licking and grooming (LG) and arched-back nursing (ABN)
by rat mothers altered the offspring epigenome at a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene …

Maternal care influences hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function in the rat through
epigenetic programming of glucocorticoid receptor expression. In humans, childhood abuse …

In the rat, variations in maternal care appear to influence the development of behavioral and
endocrine responses to stress in the offspring. The results of cross-fostering studies …

Over the past few decades, neuroimaging has become a ubiquitous tool in basic research
and clinical studies of the human brain. However, no reference standards currently exist to …

… and Meaney, MJ, Ontogeny and differential sensitivity to environmental factors of glucocorticoid
and mineralocorticoid receptors in the rat hippocampus, DeL,. Brain Res. 43 (1988) 158-…

Elevated glucocorticoid levels produce hippocampal dysfunction and correlate with individual
deficits in spatial learning in aged rats. Previously we related persistent cortisol increases …

The mothers of infant rats show individual differences in the frequency of licking/grooming
and arched-back nursing (LG-ABN) of pups that contribute to the development of individual …
