Early resource scarcity causes cortical astrocyte enlargement and sex-specific changes in the orbitofrontal cortex transcriptome in adult rats

Claire Deckers, Reza Karbalaei, Nylah A. Miles, Eden V. Harder, Emily Witt, Erin P. Harris, Kathryn J. Reissner, Mathieu E. Wimmer, Debra A. Bangasser

This study shows that early resource scarcity in rats increases astrocyte size in the orbitofrontal cortex and causes sex-specific transcriptome changes, affecting glutamatergic signaling.
