We investigated whether just 1 h of juvenile social play could rescue the effects of play deprivation on stress-related behavior and markers of neural plasticity. Syrian hamsters were reared from postnatal days 21–43 in three conditions: peer isolation, peer isolation with daily social play sessions (dyadic play), or group-housed with littermates. In adulthood, subjects were exposed to acute social defeat stress, and we examined changes in perineuronal net (PNN) expression surrounding parvalbumin (PV) neurons in the prelimbic (PL), infralimbic (IL), and basolateral amygdala (BLA). Peer deprivation led to exaggerated submissive and defensive behavior in a conditioned defeat test, but 1 h of dyadic play rescued the heightened conditioned defeat response in both males and females. In females, play deprivation reduced PNN/PV coexpression in the PL and IL compared to control groups with opportunities for social play. Males exposed to peer isolation showed elevated agonistic behavior when returned to their littermates compared to males exposed to 1-h play encounters. These findings indicate juvenile social play has long-lasting effects on PNN expression surrounding PV cells in the medial prefrontal cortex, which allows for the development of species’ typical agonistic behavior and greater stress resistance in adulthood. The ability of just 1 h of social play to rescue the effects of peer isolation highlights the powerful role of social interactions in neural and behavioral development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11086,"journal":{"name":"Developmental psychobiology","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143058019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Certain ASD symptoms can persist, whereas others may improve throughout the lifespan, but the specific patterns of changes have not been clearly delineated. Using a valproic acid (VPA) rat model of ASD, the present study took a developmental approach and examined how autistic-like behaviors, including anxiety-like behavior, object obsession, and social functioning deficits, manifested differently in three critical periods representing preadolescent (postnatal day [PND] 25), adolescent (PND 45), and adulthood life stage (PND 75) in a sex-dependent manner. Starting on PNDs 25, 45, and 75, VPA- or saline-exposed male and female offspring were tested in an elevated plus maze (EPM) and a newly validated composite social and object interaction and a triple recognition test (object, spatial, and social recognition). Across the three age groups, VPA-exposed offspring did not exhibit enhanced anxiety-like behavior in the EPM nor enhanced object interaction (“object obsession”) in the triple recognition test. However, both male and female preadolescent (PND 25) VPA-exposed offspring showed a significantly increased latency to initiate social contact than the saline-exposed controls, although their latencies to contact novel objects were comparable to those of the controls. Male preadolescent and adolescent VPA-exposed offspring, to a lesser extent the female preadolescent offspring, exhibited significantly lower levels of social interaction. These social functioning deficits were absent in adult VPA offspring. Additionally, prenatal VPA exposure did not cause an impairment of object recognition, spatial recognition, or social recognition of a familiar conspecific. Unexpectedly, it enhanced social recognition of a novel conspecific, but only in adolescent female offspring. These findings suggest that this rat model based on prenatal VPA exposure is valid in capturing early social motivational and functioning deficits but is limited in its capacity to model increased object obsession and enhanced anxiety as seen in ASD, as well as the developmental trajectory of non-social ASD symptoms. Recognizing these limitations is important as it informs us how to properly use this model to investigate the neurobiology of ASD and incentivizes us to develop better rodent models.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":11086,"journal":{"name":"Developmental psychobiology","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142794556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adolescence is thought to be an important period for emotion regulation development given that it coincides with the emergence of mental health issues. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a measure of parasympathetic regulation linked to emotion and behavior regulation. Despite the well-documented links between parenting practices and emotion regulation, and between RSA and emotion regulation, few studies have focused on the association between positive parenting and adolescent RSA or included both mothers and fathers. The current study analyzed the influence of warm parenting throughout adolescence (ages 10–16) on basal RSA at age 17 in 229 Mexican-origin youths. Latent-growth curve models were used to analyze associations between maternal and paternal warmth and baseline RSA. Changes in maternal, but not paternal, warmth from age 10 to 16 were related to youths’ basal RSA at age 17.
