Genomic glucocorticoid receptor effects guide acute stress-induced delayed anxiety and basolateral amygdala spine plasticity in rats.

Leonardo Santana Novaes, Letícia Morais Bueno-de-Camargo, Amadeu Shigeo-de-Almeida, Vitor A. L. Juliano, Ki Ann Goosens, Carolina Demarchi Munhoz

This study shows that genomic glucocorticoid receptor activity in the basolateral amygdala is essential for delayed anxiety and dendritic spine plasticity after acute stress in rats.

Neurobiology of Stress · Nov 10, 2023Peer-reviewedNeuroscience

Norepinephrine and glucocorticoids modulate chronic unpredictable stress-induced increase in the type 2 CRF and glucocorticoid receptors in brain structures related to the HPA axis activation.

Marília Brinati Malta, Joelcimar Martins, Leonardo Santana Novaes, Nilton Barreto dos Santos, Luciane V. Sita, Rosana Camarini, Cristóforo Scavone, Jackson Cioni Bittencourt, Carolina Demarchi Munhoz

This paper investigates how chronic unpredictable stress affects CRF and glucocorticoid receptors in brain regions related to the HPA axis and finds that stress increases CRF2 and GR levels in specific brain areas.
