Abstract
⺠Neonatal DEX treatment reduces body weight and accelerates eye opening. ⺠Neonatal handling enhances maternal care upon reunion. ⺠DEX treatment prevents beneficial effects of handling on sensorimotor gating. ⺠Non-handled animals are more susceptible to the impact of DEX treatment. ⺠Neonatal handling normalizes DEX-induced impairment in spatial orientation.
