This study identifies the emergence of a synergistic scaffold in the human brain around birth, influenced by environmental factors and linked to later neurocognitive development.

This study examines the long-term behavioral effects of a severe maternal separation paradigm in rats, finding minimal adverse outcomes across the lifespan.

This study shows that maternal separation in rat pups reduces frontal cortex EEG power during dam-pup interactions, suggesting a link between early-life stress and neurodevelopmental impacts.

This study shows that reducing glutamate cotransmission in dopamine neurons affects amphetamine sensitization and latent inhibition, contributing to schizophrenia resilience.
