Abstract excerpt
Adolescence is a critical period for brain development. In most mammalian species, disturbances experienced during adolescence constitute a risk factor for several neuropsychiatric disorders. In this study, we compared the biochemical and behavioral profile induced by postweaning social isolation (PWSI) in inbred C57BL/6 N mice with that of BTBR mice, a rodent model of autism spectrum disorders. Male C57BL/6 N...
