Prenatal ethanol exposure and changes in fetal neuroendocrine metabolic programming
Prenatal ethanol exposure (PEE) (mainly through maternal alcohol consumption) has become widespread. However, studies suggest that it can cause...

Effects of acute maternal stress induced by predator cues on spatial learning and memory of offspring in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum
One of the main selection pressures to which animals are exposed in nature is predation, which affects a wide variety of biological traits. When the...

Prenatal caloric restriction adjusts the energy homeostasis and behavior in response to acute and chronic variations in food availability in adulthood
Fetal metabolic programming produced by unfavorable prenatal nutritional conditions leads to the development of a disorder called “thrifty...
