It has been reported that neonatal stimulation can cause lateralization in adult rats hemisphere. In our previous studies, we specifically showed that neonatal exposure lead to right side shift of preference in paw reaching test and lateralization of hemisphere thickness in adult rats. Therefore, we postulated that the effect of neonatal novelty exposure may have different effect on long term p...

Background: Adverse stress exposure during the early neonatal period has been shown to cause aberrant development, resulting in an increased risk of adult disease. We tested the hypothesis that neonatal exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) does not alter heart function at rest condition but causes heart dysfunction under stress stimulation later in life. Methods: Saline control or LPS were admi...
