P675. The Vulnerability to Social Stress in Adolescence is Sexually Dimorphic

Abstract

Social stress during adolescence increases psychiatric risk, but not all individuals are affected equally, with important sex differences. Whether short term responses to adolescent social stress modify enduring effects in males and females is unknown. Psychiatric disorders that emerge during adolescence are characterized by impulse control deficits. Here, we explored whether social approach behaviour 24h after social stress in adolescence predicts impulse control in adulthood. The adolescent social stress model used allows to test and compare male and female mice.
