Study for protective and harmful effects of environmental factors on emotional system and its development

运用电生理、神经化学和行为科学等手段，研究了环境因素对早期情感脑功能的影响。心理压力环境会改变受体对单胺和/或氨基酸的功能或对它们的反应。GIRK2和5- ht1受体的表达水平未受影响。短暂但反复的母亲隔离倾向于增加攻击性行为。环境的自然声音，如溪流的声音，不受在单个神经元水平上观察到的短暂但反复的母亲隔离的影响。

We studied how environmental factors in early life stage affectemotional brain functions by using electrophysiological, neurochemical and behavioralscience techniques. Psychologically stressful environments alter receptor functions tomonoamines and/or amino acids or responsiveness to them. Expression levels of GIRK2 and5-HT1Areceptor were not affected. Short but repeated maternal isolation tended to increaseaggressive behavior. Environmental natural sounds such as sounds of a stream protectedfrom the effects observed at single neuron level of short but repeated maternal isolation.
