Subcellular mechanisms of social stress

Mechanisms of Subcellular mRNA Localization

Localization of RNA is a widespread and efficient way to target gene products to a specific region of a cell or embryo. This strategy of posttranscriptional gene regulation utilizes a variety of distinct mechanisms to regulate the movement and anchoring of different transcripts.

Mechanisms of drought stress tolerance in cool season grasses

Drought stress is one of the most limiting abiotic stresses affecting growth, production and survival of plants in many areas of the world, and is expected to intensify considering the trend of climate change. Grass species are important for the sustainability of agricultural systems, forage resources for animal farming and landscapes. Grass species adapt to water deficit by different morpholog...

Social memories in rodents: methods, mechanisms and modulation by stress.

Intact social memory forms the basis of meaningful interactions between individuals. Many factors can modulate the quality of social memory, and these have been studied in detail in rodents. Social memory, however, cannot be considered a single entity. The term social memory reflects different processes, such as social recognition of a novel conspecific individual and social learning (or 'learn...

Neurobiological Mechanisms Supporting Experience-Dependent Resistance to Social Stress

Humans and other animals show a remarkable capacity for resilience following traumatic, stressful events. Resilience is thought to be an active process related to coping with stress, although the cellular and molecular mechanisms that support active coping and stress resistance remain poorly understood. In this review, we focus on the neurobiological mechanisms by which environmental and social...
