Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Poor maternal behaviors have often been reported to be transmitted across generations. In this program, to investigate the transgenerational molecular mechanisms of poor maternal behavior, we study the effect of early life environment in the neocortex related social behavior. We have found that early life stress disrupts synaptic AMPA receptor delivery through adulthood by changing actin dynamics in the neocortex. Furthermore, to elucidate the transgenerational molecular mechanisms, we have evaluated correlation between early life stresses, poor maternal care and synaptic AMPA receptor delivery in the neocortex.
