Blocking BDNF/TrkB signaling in NAc during exposure to ELS in mice (maternal separation from P3-14) simultaneously restored sucrose preference and sensitized behavioral response to chronic unpredictable adult stress on the open field test (165), indicating that the enduring and opposite consequences of ELS on motivated and anxiety-related behavior are regulated by transient developmental alterations in BDNF-TrkB signaling. Here, BDNF is linked to Anxiety.
