Overexpression of mineralocorticoid receptors does not affect memory and anxiety-like behavior in female mice

Mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) have been implicated in behavioral adaptation and learning and memory. Since – at least in humans - MR function seems to be sex-dependent, we examined the behavioral relevance of MR in female mice exhibiting transgenic MR overexpression in the forebrain. Transgenic...
