Effect of exercise on learning and memory in a rat model of developmental stress
TL;DR: Examination of the effects of maternal separation and exercise on learning and memory in rats indicates that maternal separation had little effect on the rats whereas exercise enhanced both spatial and recognition memory.
Female rats are resistant to developing the depressive phenotype induced by maternal separation stress.
TL;DR: The results suggest that female rats may be resistant to MS-induced depression-like behaviour and the behavioural effects of MS and light treatment in female Rats may involve the MAPK/ERK signal transduction pathway.

Effect of exercise on synaptophysin and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase levels in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of a rat model of developmental stress.
TL;DR: Since the ventral hippocampus is associated with anxiety-related behaviour, these findings are consistent with the fact that voluntary exercise increases anxiety-like behaviour and improves learning and memory.
Maternal separation enhances object location memory and prevents exercise-induced MAPK/ERK signalling in adult Sprague-Dawley rats.
TL;DR: Findings show that maternal separation selectively enhanced n memory and prevented activation of the MAPK/ERK signalling pathway in the adult rat hippocampus.
The impact of voluntary exercise on relative telomere length in a rat model of developmental stress

TL;DR: The increased telomere length in the VH of maternally separated non-exercised rats may be indicative of reduced cellular proliferation, which could, in turn, indicate hippocampal dysfunction, and voluntary exercise may buffer against the progressive changes in telomeres length caused by alterations in maternal care early in life.
