Behavioral stress induces regionally-distinct shifts of brain mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptor levels

Mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors (MRs and GRs) mediate the impact of stress on brain function primarily by affecting gene transcription in the cell nucleus. In vitro studies using hippocampal neurons indicate that MRs and GRs translocate to the nucleus after binding to the stress hormo...
