Abstract: OBJECTIVE To examine whether maternal chewing affects prenatal stress-induced behavioral alternations associated with the changes in apoptosis-related proteins and serotonin pathway of the mouse offspring. DESIGN Pregnant mice were assigned to control, stress, and stress/chewing… read more here.

Abstract: PURPOSE Prenatal stress affects the hippocampal structure and function in pups. Maternal chewing ameliorates hippocampus-dependent cognitive impairments induced by prenatal stress. In this study, we investigated hippocampal microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in pups of dams exposed to… read more here.
