Abstract:Stresses in early ontogenesis can influence anxiety-depressive, defensive and social behavior, as well as the immune and hormonal reactivity of adult animals.

Whether neonatal LPS stress impacts aggressive behavior or sexual motivation is still unknown. Pathological aggressiveness and disorders in sexual behavior are characteristic of many neuropsychi… Show more
