This paper conducts a meta-analysis of 64 studies to assess structural brain changes in rodents exposed to early life adversity, finding reduced hippocampal volume and dendritic growth in male rats.

This study reviews 39 rodent studies on early-life adversity's effects on immediate-early gene expression, finding that ELA increases cFos expression under specific conditions.

The paper develops a pipeline to analyze whole-brain immediate early gene expression after foot-shock, revealing temporal dynamics in cellular activity across brain regions.

This study conducts a 3-level meta-analysis of rodent studies to assess how early life adversity affects behavioral domains, finding differential impacts on memory, anxiety, and social behavior.

This paper conducts a meta-analysis of rodent studies to examine how early life stress affects biochemical indicators of the dopaminergic system.
