Sex-specific brain changes reveal how early stress builds resilience in female mice

Early life stress (ELS) can have surprising benefits for female mice, leading to improved emotional regulation and cognitive function. A new study identifies a critical protein, FKBP51, as playing a key role in this adaptive process. The uncovering of sex-specific mechanisms through which ELS can build resilience helps researchers to understand the development of psychiatric disorders and identify potential therapeutic targets.
