Résumé
Chez les mammifères, les liens entre la mère et le nouveau-né sont d’une importance fondamentale dans le développement harmonieux de la progéniture. Cela rend les modèles murins de séparation mère/nouveau-né d’un grand intérêt dans le cadre des hypothèses neuro-développementales des affections psychiatriques. Des séparations longues tendent à installer, chez le raton devenu adulte, des troubles anxieux, « dépressifs », et une conduite de dépendance aux drogues. Les analyses neurobiologiques montrent une perturbation de nombreux systèmes neuronaux limbiques, en particulier neuropeptidergiques, dont l’explication pourrait se trouver dans l’impact du stress précoce sur le développement cérébral. La mise en place de modèles prenant en compte les facteurs environnementaux précoces pourrait contribuer à une meilleure prévention/prédiction des troubles mentaux et améliorer nos stratégies thérapeutiques.
Summary
Numerous animal models of early stress are currently being developed because early stress results in long-term disruptions of neuronal functions and the development of long-term behavioral disorders. These models should allow to study the concept of vulnerability applied to psychiatric disorders. The fundamental importance of the bond between the mother and the offsprings, in all mammalian species, for the development of the new-born, point to the great interest of animal models of mother/pups separation. Long periods of deprivation tend to result in anxiety, depressive-like behaviors and drug addiction in adult rats. Neurobiological studies have shown that several neuronal systems, in particular neuropeptidergic systems in the limbic structures of the brain, are disrupted, possibly due to the effects of early stress on neurodevelopment. Models evaluating the impact of early environmental factors should help to improve the prevention and prediction of psychiatric disorders and to develop new therapeutic strategies.
