Effects of environmental factors may be transmitted to the following generation, and cause neuropsychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder in offspring. Enhanced synaptic plasticity induced by enrichment also transmitted. We here test hypothesis that effects brain injury pregnant animals produce neurological deficits Unilateral (UBI) ablation hindlimb sen...
