Postweaning Enriched Environment Enhances Cognitive Function and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Signaling in the Hippocampus in Maternally Separated Rats

Javier Maximiliano Cordier et al.

Summary: Maternal separation and environmental enrichment impact spatial learning, memory performance, behaviors, and TrkB/BDNF receptor expression in rats. Enriched environment may mitigate the negative effects of maternal separation on spatial learning and memory through TrkB/BDNF signaling.

Long-term consequences of peri-adolescent social isolation on social preference, anxiety-like behaviour, and vasopressin neural circuitry of male and female rats

Brianna L. Kinley et al.

Summary: Social isolation during the juvenile and adolescent stages can have long-term consequences for behavioral and neural development. Most research has focused on males, with few studies including both sexes. The study found that peri-adolescent social isolation can affect social preference, anxiety-like behavior, and vasopressin neural circuitry in both male and female rats.

Persistent behavioral and neurobiological consequences of social isolation during adolescence

Dan C. Li et al.

Summary: Meaningful social interactions are crucial for human well-being, and experiencing social isolation during adolescence can disrupt neurobiological processes necessary for adaptive adult behaviors. Research on rodents suggests that isolation during adolescence can lead to alterations in social, anxiety-like, cognitive, and decision-making behaviors in adulthood. Further investigation into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these effects is crucial, especially in light of the recent increase in social deprivation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Live together, die alone: The effect of re-socialization on behavioural performance and social-affective brain-related proteins after a long-term chronic social isolation stress

Daniela S. Rivera et al.

Summary: Loneliness affects group-living mammals by triggering stress-dependent physiological disorders, with social isolation stress being a major risk factor for neuropsychiatric disorders. Re-socialization can alleviate anxiety and social memory impairment caused by social isolation stress. However, the reduction in OXT and its signaling proteins in specific brain areas indicates a permanent change in male and female degus.

Fluoxetine exerts subregion/layer specific effects on parvalbumin/GAD67 protein expression in the dorsal hippocampus of male rats showing social isolation-induced depressive-like behaviour

Ivana Peric et al.

Summary: The molecular background of depression focuses on alterations of inhibitory circuits mediated by GABA signalization. Chronic social isolation and chronic fluoxetine treatment have different effects on PV and GAD67 expression in layer-specific manner in rat dorsal hippocampal subregions, also impacting depressive and anxiety-like behaviors.

Chronic early-life social isolation affects NMDA and TrkB receptor expression in a sex-specific manner

Nyasha Gondora et al.

Summary: Exposing mammals to adverse social environments early in life can alter brain development and adult behavior. Chronic, early-life social isolation has been found to affect anxiety-related behavior, potentially through changes in excitatory neurotransmission levels and neurotrophic factor signaling.

Effect of chronic handling and social isolation on emotion and cognition in adolescent rats

Min Kyung Song et al.

Summary: Handling and social isolation have different effects on the behavior and neurobiological changes in adolescent rats, with handling reducing anxiety and depression levels while social isolation impairs stress responses, increases anxiety and depression levels, and affects cognitive function.

Summary: Continuous social isolation has different effects on behaviors and neuronal plasticity in youth and adulthood. Lithium may improve behavioral changes by reversing damage to neuronal plasticity.
