Abstract

Previous work has investigated the concomitant effect of early-life and juvenile stress exposure in the development of anxiety-like behaviors in adulthood. This project investigates how that effect is ameliorated by the ability of the organism to control stress exposure in adolescence. Anxiety-like behaviors and nociception are assessed across the life-span.
