Glucocorticoid receptors modulate dendritic spine plasticity and microglia activity in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease

Chronic exposure to high circulating levels of glucocorticoids (GCs) may be a key risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) development and progression. In addition, hyper-activation of glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) induces brain alterations comparable to those produced by AD. In transgenic mou...
