Research Abstract |
Maternal stress induces developmental brain impairment, emotional abnormalities, and learning deficits in pups. Maternal chewing prevents the stress-induced increase in plasma corticosterone levels in dams, as well as neurodevelopmental disorders, anxiety-like behavior, and learning deficits in the pups. Maternal chewing is an effective stress-coping method for the dams to prevent learning deficits in pups.
