The hormones and other physiological agents that mediate the effects of stress on the body
have protective and adaptive effects in the short run and yet can accelerate pathophysiology …

Social interactions serve as an evolutionarily important source of stress, and one that is
virtually ubiquitous among mammalian species. Animal models of social stress are varied …

Chronic restraint stress has been shown to induce structural remodelling throughout the
interconnected dentate gyrus‐CA3 fields. To find out how this stressor affects the rate of …

Studies of the hippocampus as a target of stress and stress hormones have revealed a
considerable degree of structural plasticity in the adult brain. Repeated stress causes …

The purpose of this review is to evaluate the effects of chronic stress on hippocampal-
dependent function, based primarily upon studies using young, adult male rodents and …

Chronic stress causes atrophy of the apical dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons and deficits
in spatial memory. We investigated the effects of chronic stress on hippocampal physiology …

We report that 9 d of uncontrolled experimental diabetes induced by streptozotocin (STZ) in
rats is an endogenous chronic stressor that produces retraction and simplification of apical …

In this review, we summarize and discuss recent studies on structural plasticity changes,
particularly apoptosis, in the mammalian hippocampus in relation to stress and depression …

Substantial progress within recent years has led to a better understanding of the impact of
stress on emotional memory. These effects are of relevance for understanding and treating …

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate ester, DHEAS, exert multiple effects in the
rodent central nervous system (CNS). Most of them seem to be mediated through their non …
