Adrenal glucocorticoid hormones are crucial for maintenance of homeostasis and adaptation
to stress. They act via the mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) and glucocorticoid receptors (…

Glucocorticoid hormones have important effects on brain function in the context of acute and
chronic stress. Many of these are mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). GR has …

Stressful experiences evoke, among others, a rapid increase in brain (nor)epinephrine (NE)
levels and a slower increase in glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) in the brain. Microglia are …

Glucocorticoids enhance memory consolidation of emotionally arousing events via largely
unknown molecular mechanisms. This glucocorticoid effect on the consolidation process also …

In the limbic brain, mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) and glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) both
function as receptors for the naturally occurring glucocorticoids (corticosterone/cortisol) but …

Glucocorticoid stress hormones are powerful modulators of brain function and can affect
mood and cognitive processes. The hippocampus is a prominent glucocorticoid target and …

Glucocorticoid signaling is context dependent, and in certain scenarios, glucocorticoid
receptors (GRs) are able to engage with other members of the nuclear receptor subfamily. …

Glucocorticoids regulate memory consolidation, facilitating long-term storage of relevant
information to adequately respond to future stressors in similar conditions. This effect of …

Glucocorticoids are powerful modulators of brain function. They act via mineralocorticoid and
glucocorticoid receptors (MR and GR). These are best understood as transcription factors. …

Brain mineralocorticoid receptors ( MR s) and glucocorticoid receptors ( GR s) respond to the
same glucocorticoid hormones but can have differential effects on cellular function. Several …
