The Neuroendocrine Impact of Acute Stress on Synaptic Plasticity

We describe the synaptic plasticity that occurs in four stress-associated brain structures, the hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex, in response to single or short-term stress exposure. The rapid transformative impact of glucocorticoids makes this stress signal a particularly potent effector of acute neuronal plasticity.PMID:37788632 | DOI:10.1210/endocr/bqad149
