Upregulation of GH, but not IGF1, in the hippocampus of the lactating dam after kainic acid injury

Upregulation of GH, but not IGF1, in the hippocampus of the lactating dam after kainic acid injury

Lactation embodies a natural model of morphological, neurochemical, and functional brain plasticity. In this reproductive stage, the hippocampus of the female is less sensitive to excitotoxins in contrast to nulliparity.
