Mild, short-term stress alters dendritic morphology in rat medial prefrontal cortex.
Prefrontal cortex is a target for glucocorticoids, shows neurochemical changes in response to stress and mediates many of the behaviors that are altered by chronic corticosterone administration. Three weeks of either daily corticosterone injections or 3 h daily restraint stress result in dendritic changes in pyramidal neurons in medial prefrontal cortex. Interestingly, vehicle injection results...
متن کاملChronic stress alters dendritic morphology in rat medial prefrontal cortex.
Chronic stress produces deficits in cognition accompanied by alterations in neural chemistry and morphology. Medial prefrontal cortex is a target for glucocorticoids involved in the stress response. We have previously demonstrated that 3 weeks of daily corticosterone injections result in dendritic reorganization in pyramidal neurons in layer II-III of medial prefrontal cortex. To determine if s...
متن کاملRepeated stress alters dendritic spine morphology in the rat medial prefrontal cortex.
Anatomical alterations in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are associated with hypothalamopituitary adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, altered stress hormone levels, and psychiatric symptoms of stress-related mental illnesses. Functional imaging studies reveal impairment and shrinkage of the mPFC in such conditions, and these findings are paralleled by experimental studies showing dendritic r...
متن کاملNMDA receptor blockade alters stress-induced dendritic remodeling in medial prefrontal cortex.
The development and relapse of many psychopathologies can be linked to both stress and prefrontal cortex dysfunction. Glucocorticoid stress hormones target medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and either chronic stress or chronic administration of glucocorticoids produces dendritic remodeling in prefrontal pyramidal neurons. Exposure to stress also causes an increase in the release of the excitatory...
متن کاملReversibility of apical dendritic retraction in the rat medial prefrontal cortex following repeated stress.
Apical dendritic retraction and axospinous synapse loss in the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) are structural alterations that result from repeated restraint stress. Such changes in this brain region may be associated with impaired working memory, altered emotionality, and inability to regulate hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal activity, which in turn may underlie stress-related mental illnesses. I...
