Abstract excerpt
Neuronal Per Arnt Sim domain 4 (Npas4), a brain-specific helix-loop-helix transcription factor, was recently shown to regulate the development of GABAergic inhibitory neurons. Npas4 mRNA expression levels were decreased in the hippocampus of mice exposed to stress, which was accompanied by brain dysfunction. We have suggested that transient stress reduced Npas4 transcription through the glucocorticoid receptor....
