TL;DR: Despite the dramatic differences in corticosterone concentration following stress at these two developmental stages, the stress-induced changes in GR expression in the hippocampus before and after pubertal maturation were more similar than different, pointing to a dissociation between differential stress- induced cortic testosterone responses and regulation of hippocampal GR levels in prepubertal and adult animals.

TL;DR: In agreement with previous reports, adrenal steroid regulation of AVP and CRH mRNA was found to be mediated primarily through the Type II receptor.

TL;DR: Results of glucocorticoid actions during the diurnal cycle modify synaptic efficacy within a hippocampal system that is involved in learning and memory and is also influenced by the neuropeptide, vasopressin.

TL;DR: Results have suggested that the GHR mRNA expression in the DG is regulated, at least in part, by glucocorticoids and that GH may be involved in responses of the DG to acute stress.

TL;DR: What is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying Li's actions in the brain in response to stress is summarized, particularly how Li is able to facilitate plasticity through regulation of the glutamate system and cytoskeletal components.
