A new study suggests that long-term stress can hurt short-term
memory, in part due to inflammation brought on by an immune response.
Researchers from Ohio State University performed experiments where
mice were exposed to repeated social defeat by exposure to an
aggressive, larger, alpha mouse. The mice that were under chronic
stress, had difficulty remembering where the escape hole was in a maze
they had previously mastered before the stressful period.
The findings were published in The Journal of Neuroscience.
“The stressed mice didn’t recall it. The mice that weren’t stressed
really remembered it,” lead researcher Johnathan Godbout, associate
professor of neuroscience at Ohio State, said in statement.
The researchers noted that this kind of stress isn’t the
once-in-a-while, acute stress someone might feel before a big meeting or
presentation, but prolonged, continued stress.
The mice also displayed depressive-like behavior through social avoidance that continued after four weeks of observation.
Brain changes were also observed in the stressed mice, including
inflammation associated with the presence of immune cells, known as
macrophages, in the brain. The researchers also recorded shortfalls in
the development of new neurons at 10 days and 28 days after the chronic
stress ended.
John Sheridan, associate director of Ohio State’s Institute for
Behavioral Medicine said in a statement that there might be ways to
interrupt the inflammation that occurs in the brain.
When the mice were given a chemical that inhibited inflammation, both
memory loss and the inflammatory macrophages disappeared, leading
researchers to conclude that post-stress memory deficits is directly
tied to inflammation and the immune system. The depressive symptoms and
the brain-cell problem did not go away.
“Stress releases immune cells from the bone marrow and those cells
can traffic to brain areas associated with neuronal activation in
response to stress,” Sheridan said. “They’re being called to the brain,
to the center of memory.”
The team aims to understand the underpinnings of stress and responses
that could one day lead to treatments for people that suffer from
anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
New information from this study could lead to immune-based treatments, Godbout said.
