- W2955017972 abstract "Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by changes in social interactions, impaired language and communication, fear responses and presence of repetitive behaviours. Although the genetic bases of ASD are well documented, the recent increase in clinical cases of idiopathic ASD indicates that several environmental risk factors could play a role in ASD aetiology. Among these, maternal exposure to psychosocial stressors during pregnancy has been hypothesized to affect the risk for ASD in offspring. Here, we tested the hypothesis that preconceptional stressful experiences might also represent crucial elements in the aetiology of ASD. We previously showed that social isolation stress during adolescence results in a marked decrease in the brain and plasma concentrations of progesterone and in the quality of maternal care that these female rats later provide to their young. Here we report that male offspring of socially isolated parents showed decreased agonistic behaviour and social transmission of flavour preference, impairment in reversal learning, increased seizure susceptibility, reduced plasma oxytocin levels, and increased plasma and brain levels of BDNF, all features resembling an ASD-like phenotype. These alterations came with no change in spatial learning, aggression, anxiety and testosterone plasma levels, and were sex-dependent. Altogether, the results suggest that preconceptional stressful experiences should be considered as crucial elements for the aetiology of ASD, and indicate that male offspring of socially isolated parents may be a useful animal model to further study the neurobiological bases of ASD, avoiding the adaptations that may occur in other genetic or pharmacologic experimental models of these disorders." @default.
