However, neuroendocrine programming may be a common pathway by which a wide variety of adverse external influences have long-term effects on the fetus.
They found that the timing of stress exposure, along with genetic composition, were both important in shaping neuroendocrine response to future challenge.
Disruptions in serotonin system ontogeny in both receptor distribution and density of serotonin projections may also alter hypothalamic response to neuroendocrine challenge tests.
These results suggest that an altered neuroendocrine stress response (dysfunctioning hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) is associated with the clinical state of schizophrenia.
These findings in human and nonhuman young suggest that early development of neuroendocrine system regulation is dependent upon the caregiver's stable presence.
It applies especially to the chapter on laboratory evaluation of neuroendocrine systems, which is a major disappointment.
Postnatal handling attenuates neuroendocrine, anatomical, and cognitive impairments related to the aged hippocampus.
There is very little evidence that early deprivation or neglect, per se, has any long-term impacts on activity of this stress-sensitive neuroendocrine system in humans.
