Stress hormone rapidly tunes synaptic NMDA receptor through membrane dynamics and mineralocorticoid signalling

Abstract Stress hormones, such as corticosteroids, modulate the transmission of hippocampal glutamatergic synapses and NMDA receptor (NMDAR)-dependent synaptic plasticity, favouring salient behavioural responses to the environment. The corticosterone-induced synaptic adaptations partly rely on chang...
