Özet

Objective: Loss of a baby accompanied by complicated grief increases vulnerability to mental disease with adverse consequences both for the mother and the long-term well-being of the subsequent generations. This study presents an animal model and aims to study the reactions of female rats to the loss of their litters and the consequences for the next litter.
