Genetic dissection of glucocorticoid receptor function in the mouse brain.

Abstract excerpt

In the brain, glucocorticoids exert functions in neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity and behavioural responses, as well as in the control of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity. The generation of mice harbouring germline mutations that result either in loss or in gain of glucocorticoid receptor function provided a useful tool for understanding the role of glucocorticoids in the brain in vivo. The...
