Figure 4From: Cellular mechanisms underlying the effects of an early experience on cognitive abilities and affective statesEffects of handling on the density of 5-HT1A receptors in the hippocampus. Neonatal handling increased the number of 3H-8-OH-DPAT binding sites in the hippocampus (p = 0.027, one way ANOVA), indicating an increased density of 5-HT1A receptors in this area. Values represent the mean ± S.E.M. of 5-HT1A receptor density in fmoles/mgr tissue.Back to article page
