Abstract

Both chronic stress in adulthood and episodes of stress in the early postnatal period have been shown to interfere with neuronal development in limbic prefrontal cortical regions. The present study in rats showed for the first time that the development of layer II/III pyramidal neurons in the dorsal anterior cingulate (ACd) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is significantly affected in offspring of mothers exposed to stress during pregnancy. In prenatally stressed (PS) male rat pups the ACd and OFC showed significantly lower spine densities on the apical dendrite (ACd, −20%; OFC, −25%), on basal dendrites reduced spine densities where found only in the OFC (−20% in PS males). Moreover, in both cortical areas a significant reduction of dendritic length was observed in PS males compared to control offspring, which was confined to the apical dendrites (ACd, −30%, OFC, −26%). Sholl analysis revealed that these alterations were accompanied by a significantly reduced complexity of the dendritic trees in both cortical regions. PS females displayed reductions of dendritic spine densities in the ACd and OFC on both the basal (ACd, −21%; OFC, −20%) and apical dendrites (ACd, −21%; OFC, −21%), however, in contrast to the findings in PS males, no dendritic atrophy was detected in the PS females. These findings demonstrate that gestational stress leads to significant alterations of prefrontal neuronal structure in the offspring of the stressed mothers in a sex‐specific manner.

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.
