| Abstract | The search for genetic and environmental risk factors that alter brain
growth and emotional development is limited in humans with affective disorders that are
triggered or aggravated by stress. Animal models are particularly well suited for the
investigation of genetic variation in carefilly controlled environments. Here, we illustrate
this preclinical approach with a series of studies on early life stress and inherited
variation in squirrel monkey hippocampal and prefontal volumes determined in vivo
with magnetic resonance imaging. |
