Left too early: the effects of age at separation from parents on Chinese rural children's symptoms of anxiety and depression.

15 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: We examined the effect of age at separation from parents on symptoms of anxiety and depression among children in rural communities in China whose parents migrated to cities in search of employment opportunities during the country's rapid ... Read more...

Artificial rearing of rat pups reveals the beneficial effects of mother care on neonatal inflammation and adult sensitivity to pain.

30 Aug 2009 Repeated pain during brain development can have long-term consequences in both humans and animals. We previously showed that maternal care provided to pups experiencing pain reduced adult pain sensitivity. This study tested whether sensory ... Read more...

Layer II/III of the prefrontal cortex: Inhibition by the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor in development and stress.

10 Aug 2009 The modulation of the prefrontal cortex by the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT) is thought to play a key role in determining adult anxiety levels. Layer II/III of the prefrontal cortex, which mediates communication across cortical regions, displays ... Read more...
