Developmental Social Stress and House Dust Mite affect Social Interaction Behavior in Mice

Parisa Solaimanian

Social stress and allergen exposure can each affect mouse social and anxiety-related behavior. In our study, we compared social behavior in mice after developmental chronic social stress or house dust mite exposure. We found differences between based on stress, allergen, and sex in latency to approach a target, time interacting with a target, and mean time interacting with a target. Importantly, the results demonstrate that early life social experiences affect later-life behavior.
