As a result, the dentate gyrus harbours neurons of ontogenetically different origin. Notably, ontogenetically different dentate granule neurons (DGNs) are morphologically distinct and fulfil specialized functions in hippocampal information processing and plasticity. Development of adult-born DGNs is tightly controlled by signals released by the complex cellular environment of the adult dentate gyrus. In mice, an adult-like cytoarchitecture of the dentate gyrus is observed only after postnatal Week 2. The question therefore arises when the signalling environment controlling adult neurogenesis is established and whether development of ontogenetically distinct DGNs is subject to the same regulatory pathways. Here, we analyse BATGAL reporter mice to determine the temporal development of β-catenin-signalling activity in the murine DGN lineage. We show that the β-catenin-signalling pattern, which is essential for precise dendritogenesis and neuronal maturation in adulthood, emerges only around 2 weeks after birth and continues to be refined over the next weeks. These results indicate that the signalling environment controlling adult neurogenesis is only gradually established and suggest that the development of ontogenetically distinct DGNs is controlled by different mechanisms.</p>","PeriodicalId":13914,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jdn.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143431701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early life stress (ELS), which includes factors such as inadequate parental care and childhood abuse, significantly increases the risk of developing neuropsychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depression. This review examines the impact of maternal separation (MS) on depression, anxiety and pain behaviour, with a particular emphasis on neuroinflammatory pathways. Experiences of ELS can adversely affect the maturation of neurotransmitter systems and associated neural circuits that are crucial for processing painful stimuli and regulating anxiety and depression. Stressful experiences trigger inflammatory processes in the brain, initiating immune responses in neural cells and stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In mammals, MS serves as a significant stressor that activates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and other stress-related systems, leading to increased immune challenges and heightened pain sensitivity in adulthood due to systemic inflammation. Key inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, play critical roles in the development of pathological pain, while the activation of microglia releases inflammatory mediators that contribute to neurological dysfunction and the pathophysiology of stress, depression and anxiety. Moreover, therapeutics targeting oxidative stress and inflammation have shown promise in alleviating affective disorders following MS. This review discusses potential pathways, with a primary focus on neuroinflammatory mechanisms and the therapeutic strategies that may mitigate the adverse effects of MS. There is a pressing need for further research to elucidate the underlying pathways and identify effective interventions to improve mental health outcomes in individuals affected by MS.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13914,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143079778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
