Daily restraint for 3 weeks was shown to atrophy dendrites of hippocampal pyramidal
neurons in rats. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which maintains neuronal …

Chronic stress is a trigger for several psychiatric disorders, including depression; however,
critical individual differences in resilience to both the behavioral and the neurochemical …

Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is strongly expressed in the hippocampus, where
it has been associated with memory processes. In the central nervous system, some …

Brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) is a member of the nerve growth factor family that is
important for neuronal survival and plasticity. We recently demonstrated that stress …

Compelling evidence suggests that mood disorders are characterized by reduced neuronal
plasticity that might be normalized by pharmacological intervention. Our study aimed to …

Immobilization stress decreases the expression of BDNF mRNA in the rat hippocampus, and
this effect could contribute to the atrophy of hippocampal neurons. This study examines the …

Chronic stress produces structural changes and neuronal damage especially in the
hippocampus. Because neurotrophic factors affect neuron survival, we questioned whether …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a secreted protein that has been linked to
numerous aspects of plasticity in the central nervous system (CNS). Stress-induced …

Recent findings on stress induced structural plasticity in rodents have identified important
differences between the hippocampus and amygdala. The same chronic immobilization …

Chronic restraint stress (CRS) induces the remodeling (ie, retraction and simplification) of
the apical dendrites of hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons in rats, suggesting that …
