Lack of Social Support Raises Stress Vulnerability in Rats with a History of Ancestral Stress

Abstract Stress is a primary risk factor for psychiatric disorders. However, it is not fully understood why some stressed individuals are more vulnerable to psychiatric disorders than others. Here, we investigated whether multigenerational ancestral stress produces phenotypes that are sensitive to d...
