Increased risk-taking behaviour was observed in male offspring from socially isolated females, indicating long-term impacts of maternal stress.
Key neurochemical changes included elevated glutamate levels and reduced GABA, suggesting significant alterations in brain chemistry related to behaviour.
Social isolation during preconception appears to instigate neuroinflammatory changes, as indicated by alterations in GFAP and CD11beta expression.
Findings highlight that adolescent males exposed to maternal stress may require targeted interventions, emphasizing the importance of early prevention.
