Influence of maternal experience on behavioral response to the maternal separation stress in mother rats: Preliminary results

Pregnancy and postpartum are periods of maximum neuronal and behavioral plasticity in a female life. In the present study we investigated whether reproductive experience (number of pregnancies and parturition) affects the behavioral response to an environmental stress as the early mother-pup separation by studying parameters known to be affected by long-term stress.
