Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of the glucocorticoid receptor gene in the nervous system results in reduced anxiety

TL;DR: Conditional mutagenesis of Gr in the nervous system provides genetic evidence for the importance of Gr signalling in emotional behaviour because mutant animals show an impaired behavioural response to stress and display reduced anxiety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resetting of circadian time in peripheral tissues by glucocorticoid signaling.

TL;DR: It is shown that the glucocorticoid hormone analog dexamethasone induces circadian gene expression in cultured rat-1 fibroblasts and transiently changes the phase of circadian gene Expression in liver, kidney, and heart, however, dexamETHasone does not affect cyclic geneexpression in neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of CREB function in brain leads to neurodegeneration

TL;DR: Mice with a Crem−/− background and lacking Creb in the central nervous system during development show extensive apoptosis of postmitotic neurons, and mice in which both Creb1 and Crem are disrupted in the postnatal forebrain show progressive neurodegeneration in the hippocampus and in the dorsolateral striatum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transient and selective overexpression of dopamine D2 receptors in the striatum causes persistent abnormalities in prefrontal cortex functioning.

TL;DR: It is found that D2R overexpression in the striatum impacts dopamine levels, rates of dopamine turnover, and activation of D1 receptors in the prefrontal cortex, measures that are critical for working memory.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Possible Role for the Striatum in the Pathogenesis of the Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

TL;DR: It is suggested how mouse models might test ideas about the contribution of early striatal dysfunction to the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia and how the striatum and its cortical connections are critical for complex cognition are reviewed.
