| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we analyzed the influences of maternal separation (MS) during brain development equivalent to preterm infants in human using rat model. Our results showed that MS during brain development increased aggressive behavior and reduced the behavior related to social recognition after maturation. In addition, we found that reduction of various factors (VGAT, Neuroligin-2) related to inhibitory synapse in the amygdala and the medial prefrontal cortex of mature rat exposed to MS. Excitatory/inhibitory imbalance disrupts normal function in these regions, which leads to cause excessive aggression and abnormality of sociability. Our study also revealed these influences of MS are not irreversible, but rather can be recovered depending on nurturing environment after MS.
