Abstract:Stress affects the brain and alters its neuroarchitecture and function; these changes can be severe and lead to psychiatric disorders. Recent evidence suggests that astrocytes and microglia play an essential role in the stress response by contributing to the maintenance of cerebral homeostasis. These cells respond rapidly to all stimuli reaching the brain, including stressors. Using a recently validated rodent model of post-traumatic stress disorder that allows rats to be classified as resilient or vulnerable … Show more
