The Manipulation Of Apical Dendritic Plasticity And The Consequences For The Effects of Chronic Stress
… sizes with a recovery period. This suggests that dendritic remodeling can function as a protective response mechanism, protecting the region from exposure to the increased amounts of excitatory amino acid released in stress. If this is the case, then a situation in which remodeling is prevented …

Stress and Hippocampal Plasticity
… changes in the hippocampus, such as dendritic remodeling in CA3 neurons and mossy fiber terminal rearrangement, and these alterations are reversible, suggesting that the hippocampal system experiences a certain degree of plasticity in response to stress. This dissertation examines the …

Chronic Stress Effects on Prefrontal Cortical Structure and Function
… medial prefrontal (mPFC) and orbitofrontal (OFC) dendritic morphology underlie impairments in the behaviors that they subserve. Chronic stress induced a selective impairment in attentional control and a corresponding retraction of apical dendritic arbors in mPFC. By contrast, stress did not …

Sex differences in the effects of two-hit stress on the structure and function of rat medial prefrontal cortex
… stress challenge. In Experiment 1, I showed that dendritic remodeling of neurons in mPFC is sex-specific during the post-stress period. To assess whether these changes might give rise to functional changes, I developed a “two-hit stress” paradigm in which rats were exposed to chronic stress, given …
