2020, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Cumulatively, studies indicate that PNS alone or in combination with other stresses is linked to higher levels of corticosterone at rest (Jafari et al., 2017d, 2019a; Weinstock et al., 1998, 1992) and increased vulnerability and decreased habituation to novel environments or stressful stimuli (Fride et al., 1986a, 1985; Jafari et al., 2017, 2019a,b; Weinstock et al., 1992) and in response to an acute stress (Soares-Cunha et al., 2018; Weinstock et al., 1998), as well as enhanced activation of the sympathetic nervous system (Weinstock et al., 1998). PNS also has been shown to be associated with anxious- and/or depressive-like behaviours (Fride and Weinstock, 1989; Jafari et al., 2017d, 2018b; Meek et al., 2000; Soares-Cunha et al., 2018; Wakshlak and Weinstock, 1990), impaired spatial learning and memory (Guan et al., 2016; Jafari et al., 2019a; Jafari et al., 2017d; Jafari et al., 2019b; Kim et al., 2013; Nishio et al., 2001), reduced hippocampal synaptic activity (lower level of LTP) (Barzegar et al., 2015) and neurogenesis in dentate gyrus (Kim et al., 2013), decreased hippocampal BDNF (Guan et al., 2016), increased DA turnover (Fride and Weinstock, 1987), delay in sensory and motor development (Fride et al., 1986b; Fride and Weinstock, 1984; Meek et al., 2000; Nishio et al., 2001), and higher incidence of stress-related defecation (Wakshlak and Weinstock, 1990; Weinstock et al., 1992). A PNS study also demonstrated stronger negative alterations of locomotion, exploration, and reactivity of the HPA-axis (high plasma concentration of ACTH and adrenal hypertrophy) than restraint stress or to the combination of both stressors (Badache et al., 2017).

2017, Progress in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :An effect of maternal stress on offspring lateralization has also first been found in animal research. In rats, prenatal stress goes along with altered tail posture and rotational behavior (Fride and Weinstock, 1989), T-maze side preference (Alonso et al., 1991), and is accompanied by reduced cerebral asymmetry and behavioral deviations comparable to human depressive and schizotypal symptoms (Weinstock, 2001). On the neural level, maternal chronic unpredictable stress is associated with asymmetrical dopaminergic activity in rats (Huang et al., 2013).

2015, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Such vulnerability may result from a variety of PS-related impairments extensively described in previous studies (reviewed by Weinstock, 2008 and Charil et al., 2010). Specifically, dopamine (DA) development, integration and neurotransmission are strongly altered in offspring stressed in utero (Fride and Weinstock, 1989; Barros et al., 2004; Adrover et al., 2007). Maternal stress has also been recently associated with an upregulation in the mRNA expression of BDNF in the hippocampus (Neeley et al., 2011) and ΔFosB transcription factor in the NAcc (Van Waes et al., 2011).
