“…The hippocampus has been extensively studied in this context, because of its key role in cognitive functioning and its high degree of neuronal and synaptic plasticity (Akhondzadeh, ; Lledo, Alonso, & Grubb, ; Malenka, ). There is now ample evidence that ELA in the form of stress or malnutrition leads to impaired cognitive functioning associated with disrupted hippocampal neurogenesis (Abbink, Naninck, Lucassen, & Korosi, ; Lemaire, Koehl, Le Moal, & Abrous, ; Loi, Koricka, Lucassen, & Joels, ; Matos, Orozco‐Solís, de Souza, Manhães‐de‐Castro, & Bolaños‐Jiménez, ; Naninck et al, ; Pérez‐García, Guzmán‐Quevedo, Da Silva Aragão, & Bolaños‐Jiménez, ) and altered synaptic plasticity (Aisa et al, ; Austin, Bronzino, & Morgane, ; Danielewicz, Trenk, & Hess, ; Derks, Krugers, Hoogenraad, Joels, & Sarabdjitsingh, ; for review see Georgieff, Brunette, & Tran, ; J. Yang et al, ). In addition, the involvement of microglia has received some attention (De Luca et al, ; Diz‐Chaves, Pernía, Carrero, & Garcia‐Segura, ; Hoeijmakers et al, ).…”
