Breaking Bonds: Neurobiological consequences of loss across the lifespan 

Synopsis: Our brains are highly plastic and respond both structurally and functionally to a host of experiences – those beginning in the early days of life and stretching well into our older years. In this talk, I will discuss how the maintenance, or loss, of social bonds occurring throughout life (e.g., early-life adverse parental experiences, pair bonding) can modulate neural plasticity, hormones, and immune function. I will discuss data suggesting the loss of social bonds (e.g., mate bond separation, early-life parental loss) can have deleterious, sex-specific consequences on brain and behavior, highlighting the potential for central inflammation and peripheral stress hormones as potential mediators.
