چکیده

objective(s):the hippocampus has been implicated in pathophysiology of schizophrenia. prenatal stress is a contributing risk factor for a wide variety of neuropsychiatric diseases including schizophrenia. this study examined long-term effects of prenatal restraint stress on the stereological parameters in the cornu ammonis (ca) of adult male rats as an animal model of schizophrenia. materials and methods:wistar pregnant dams in experimental group were stressed in a cylindrical plexiglas restrainer daily for 1 hr during last week of gestation. controls remained in the animal room and were exposed only to normal animal room conditions. at 2 months of age, the volume of the pyramidal cell layer of the ca, the numerical density and the somal volume of the respective neurons were assessed in the male offspring generated from stressed and control pregnancies. cavalieri's principle, physical disector and nucleator were applied for stereological analyses. results:this study showed that prenatal stress significantly decreased the volume of ca3 pyramidal cell layer and the individual somal volume of ca3 pyramidal neurons. however, there were no markedly differences in the numerical density, total number of ca3 pyramidal neurons and stereological parameters in ca1 of prenatally stressed and control animals. conclusion: these data indicate that prenatal stress exposure induced neuronal changes in the ca3 subfield of hippocampus which are similar to what is observed in schizophrenia.

Cornu Ammonis Regions–Antecedents of Cortical Layers?

Studying neocortex and hippocampus in parallel, we are struck by the similarities. All three to four layered allocortices and the six layered mammalian neocortex arise in the pallium. All receive and integrate multiple cortical and subcortical inputs, provide multiple outputs and include an array of neuronal classes. During development, each cell positions itself to sample appropriate local and...

Proteomic characterization in the hippocampus of prenatally stressed rats.

Rats exposed to early life stress are considered as a valuable model for the study of epigenetic programming leading to mood disorders and anxiety in the adult life. Rats submitted to prenatal restraint stress (PRS) are characterized by an anxious/depressive phenotype associated with neuroadaptive changes in the hippocampus. We used the model of PRS to identify proteins that are specifically af...
