Maternal deprivation impairs social recognition by diminishing the number of adult-born granule cells in the dentate gyrus
Childhood neglect increases the likelihood of developing neuropsychiatric disease in adulthood. Maternal separation and early weaning (MSEW), a rodent model of maternal deprivation, was used to investigate effects on social recognition, a commonly impaired function in neuropsychiatric disorders in humans. We found that in adulthood, MSEW male mice showed social recognition impairments, and that…
