The role of neurotrophic factors in adult hippocampal neurogenesis, antidepressant treatments and animal models of depressive-like behavior (2007, background): “Prenatal restraint stress also decreases proliferation of newborn cells in the adult hippocampus and is associated with decreased learning in rodents (Lemaire et al., 2000; Liu et al., 2000) and altered emotional states in nonhuman primates (Coe et al., 2003).”
Effects of a secure attachment relationship on right brain development, affect regulation, and infant mental health (2001, background): “Maternal care has been shown to increase N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor levels, resulting in elevated BDNF and synaptogenesis in the infant's brain (Liu et al., 2000).”
Postnatal microbial colonization programs the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal system for stress response in mice (2004, background): “…showed reduced expression levels of cortical and hippocampal BDNF Previous reports demonstrated that early life events that take place during brain maturation can modulate the expression of neurotrophins of cellular plasticity within selected brain regions (Liu et al. 2000; Roceri et al. 2002).”
The seven sins of evolutionary psychology (2001, background): “Animals exhibit netic modes of inheritance (e.g., LIU et al. 2000), and such trans-generational effects provide a changing social fabric that has enormous implications for the way we conceptualize evolutionary canalizations.”
Critical period regulation. (2004, background): “Rat mothers engaged in high licking and grooming behaviors raise pups that have higher synaptic density, BDNF content, mature NMDA receptors, and spatial learning scores in the hippocampus (Liu et al. 2000), as well as greater tolerance to stress as adults (see Meaney 2001).”
The role of childhood trauma in the neurobiology of mood and anxiety disorders: preclinical and clinical studies. (2001, background): “Consistent with the evidence that the LC-noradrenergic neurons project to the hypothalamus, increased concentrations of norepinephrine (NE) have been measured in the PVN of the hypothalamus of maternally separated rats (Liu et al 2000a).”
