It is well established that glucocorticoid hormones, secreted by the adrenal cortex after a
stressful event, influence cognitive performance. Some studies have found glucocorticoid …

Stress leads to an enhanced activity of the hypothalamus–pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis
resulting in an increased release of glucocorticoids from the adrenal cortex. These …

Over the last decades considerable evidence has accumulated indicating that
glucocorticoids–stress hormones released from the adrenal cortex–are crucially involved in …

Studies have shown that peripheral levels of corticosterone correlate with the magnitudes of
two well‐described physiological models of memory, long‐term potentiation (LTP) and …

This paper summarizes recent findings on the amygdala's role in mediating acute effects of
glucocorticoids on memory consolidation in rats. Posttraining activation of glucocorticoid …

Behavioral exposure therapy of anxiety disorders is believed to rely on fear extinction.
Because preclinical studies have shown that glucocorticoids can promote extinction …

Two types of corticosteroid receptors can be distinguished in rat brain. The type 1 receptor
resembles the kidney mineralocorticoid receptor and has two functional expressions in …

An imbalance between central glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptors is
proposed to underlie the HPA axis dysregulation that associates with susceptibility to …

Considerable evidence implicates glucocorticoid hormones in the regulation of memory
consolidation and memory retrieval. The present experiments investigated whether the …

Evidence indicates that the modulatory effects of the adrenergic stress hormone epinephrine
as well as several other neuromodulatory systems on memory storage are mediated by …
