Investigations of HPA function and the enduring consequences of stressors in adolescence in animal models

McCormick, Cheryl M., Mathews, Iva Z., Thomas, Catherine, Waters, Patti·2010·Brain and Cognition

Abstract

Developmental differences in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis responsiveness to stressors and ongoing development of glucocorticoid-sensitive brain regions in adolescence suggest that similar to the neonatal period of ontogeny, adolescence may also be a sensitive period for programming effects of stressors on the central nervous system. Although research on this period of life is scarce compared to early life and adulthood, the available research indicates that effects of stress exposure during adolescence differ from, and may be longer-lasting than, effects of the same stress exposure in adulthood. Research progress in animal models in this field is reviewed including HPA function and the enduring effects of stress exposures in adolescence on sensitivity to drugs of abuse, learning and memory, and emotional behaviour in adulthood. The effects of adolescent stress depend on a number of factors, including the age, gender, the duration of stress exposure, the type of stressor, and the time between stress exposure and testing.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Stress exposure, including social stress, during adolescence may be longer lasting and qualitatively different from stress exposure at other periods of life.

  • Adolescence, more than early life or adulthood, is a sensitive period for stress-induced programming of the brain.

    “Some reviews suggest that adolescence, more than early life or adulthood, is a sensitive period for stress-induced programming of the brain (Mccormick et al., 2010)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
