Transgenerational Effects of Synthetic Glucocorticoids on Offspring Behaviour and HPA Development in Guinea Pigs
… (HPA) function and stress-associated behaviours in first generation (F1) offspring. Emerging studies in animals determined that sGC results in transmission of HPA and behavioural effects to the next generation (F2) of offspring, but no study has investigated transmission to the third …

Interactions of Early-life Temperature Exposure, Offspring Genotype and Maternal Care on Later-life Maternal Care Provisioning in Female Rats
… maternal environment has a profound effect on offspring behaviour, including the transmission of maternal care across generations. Variations in rat maternal care provisioning are associated with alterations in the oxytocinergic and dopaminergic systems in the maternal brain and, in turn, …

Effects of Maternal Stress and Cortisol Treatment on Offspring Anxiety Behaviour and Stress Responses In Zebrafish (Danio rerio) and Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides)
… to spawn has been reported to have effects on offspring phenotype. Cortisol, the main glucocorticoid (GC) stress hormone, has been proposed as a potential mediator of such effects because of its organizational role in early teleost development. The present thesis tested whether maternal social …
