This study shows that milk-derived extracellular vesicles from enriched environments can rescue neuroimmune deficits in offspring following maternal immune activation.

This study shows that maternal stress during lactation alters milk-derived extracellular vesicle miRNAs, which affect offspring hippocampal gene expression, and that environmental enrichment can reverse these effects.

This study shows that blocking CRFR1 during peripuberty alters adult behavior and amygdala gene expression in rats, with sex-specific effects.

This study investigates how metyrapone, an 11β-hydroxylase inhibitor, affects offspring behavior and corticosterone levels in a rodent model of maternal immune activation, revealing sex-specific outcomes.

This study shows that maternal immune activation during lactation alters milk composition and leads to behavioral and physiological changes in offspring.

This study examines how environmental enrichment affects maternal care, milk quality, and offspring development in rats, finding differences in milk composition, offspring weight, and social behavior.

This study shows that maternal immune activation accelerates puberty and alters pain sensitivity in mice, with environmental enrichment mitigating some effects.

This study shows that maternal immune activation in mice improves visual discrimination and reversal learning in a sex-dependent manner, with potential compensatory plasticity mechanisms.

This paper reviews the impact of environmental enrichment on phenotypic variation in mice and rats, finding no increased variability in enriched environments compared to standard housing.

This study shows that environmental enrichment prevents social behavior disruptions and HPA axis dysregulation caused by maternal immune activation in mice.

This study investigates how environmental enrichment mitigates maternal immune activation effects on placental function and offspring outcomes in rats.
