Chronic mild social stress increases neurogenesis in adolescent male rats
… on hippocampal neurogenesis. In experiment 1, rats were administered Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) daily on PND 30-32, or 46-48, to mark neurogenesis at the beginning of the stressor or after the stressor had ceased, respectively. Neither short-term nor chronic stress had an effect on proliferation …

Testosterone’s regulation of the HPA axis differs for adolescent and adult male rats
… meet the demands of their environment. In adult male rats, CORT release in response to stressors is dampened by the gonadal hormone testosterone. Adolescent male rats secrete more CORT in response to stressors than do adults and our lab has previously reported that gonadectomised pre-pubertal …

Devaluation of Sucrose Caused by Social Instability Stress in Adolescent Male Long-Evans Rats in the Presence of an Unfamiliar Peer
Rats that undergo the Social Instability Stress procedure during adolescence (SS: daily 1-hour isolation + re-pairing with an unfamiliar cage partner for 16 days) display changes in reward-related behaviour. Specifically, SS rats spend less time in social interaction but more time in social …

Taurine's effect on cocaine reward and neurogenesis in the adolescent male rat brain.
… laboratory have shown that treatment of adult male rats with the essential β-amino acid taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) has been effective in attenuating the reward value of cocaine in a conditioned place preference paradigm, independent of hormonal status. Taurine has also been shown to …

Characterizing the Development of Reward Evaluation Across Adolescence in Female and Male Long-Evans Rats
… physiological, and psychological maturation. Adolescents, both human and rat, have been observed to evaluate reward differently than other ages, however little is known about how reward evaluation may change throughout adolescence, and how these developmental trajectories may vary between …

Effects of alcohol and ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol on energy balance and cognitive behaviors
… three studies using relatively young Long-Evans rats. Chapters 1 and 2 reviewed published reports on this topic and outlined the Specific Aims of this dissertation, respectively. Chapter 3 investigated the effects of chronic moderate alcohol consumption on energy balance, cognitive behaviors, and …
