Abstract

Early life adverse experience contributes to an enhanced vulnerability for adult psychopathology. Recent evidence indicates that serotonin type 2 (5-HT(2)) receptor function, implicated in the pathophysiology of mood and anxiety disorders, is significantly enhanced in the maternal separation model of early life stress. We examined whether postnatal 5-HT(2) receptor blockade would prevent the consequences of maternal separation on anxiety behavior and dysregulated gene expression
