Abstract:
Background and Aim : Mother-infant interactions influence the development of physiology and behavior during the first weeks after birth. As an adverse early life experience, maternal separation (MS) produces behavioral and neuroendocrine functions disorders associated with the hippocampus. Considering the critical role of long-term potentiation (LTP) in learning and memory, we investigated whether MS affects LTP in adolescent female rats.Methods : In this study, female rat pups were exposed to daily 3-h (MS180) or 15-min (MS15) periods of maternal separation on postnatal days (PND) 1–14 and control offspring remained with the dams all the time before weaning. Extracellular evoked field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSPs) were recorded in the stratum radiatum of the CA1 area of the slice at 28–35 days of age.Results : Our results indicate that a significant difference existed in the magnitude of LTP between the control group and MS180 group, but the MS15 group was not different from control.Conclusion : In conclusion, these findings suggest that MS may impair LTP induction in the CA1 area of the hippocampus in adolescent female rats.
