Fig. 3. Summary of findings in rodents subject to chronic stress as adults revealing (i) structural and physiological changes in the medial prefrontal cortex (medial PFC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), (ii) associated behavioral changes and (iii) interventions within the medial PFC and OFC that ameliorate the behavioral changes.
Both (i) and (iii) implicate dysregulation within medial PFC and OFC in relation to the behavioral changes associated with chronic stress. ieg immediate early gene, CB1 endocannabinoid presynaptic receptor, DA dopamine, DBS deep brain stimulation, Discrim Rev discrimination reversal task, DMN default mode network, FST forced swim test, LTD long-term depression, MDThal mediodorsal thalamus, NAccumbens nucleus accumbens, PV parvalbumin neurons, SA social avoidance (interaction) test, SPT sucrose preference test. 1.
