Behavioral sensitivity to stress was dramatically reduced in Fmr1-KO mice, the main animal model of Fragile X Syndrome. Repeated exposure to stress induced social and cognitive deficits only in WT mice. Chronic stress did not affect exploration, anxiety-like behaviors or corticosterone levels. The impact of stress depended on the type of stressors (restraint versus unpredictable stress) and the behavior tested.
