Acute stress disrupts paired pulse facilitation and long‐term potentiation in rat dorsal hippocampus through activation of glucocorticoid receptors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cognitive functions such as learning and memory are widely believed to depend on patterns of short- and long-term synaptic plasticity. Factors, such as acute stress, which affect learning and memory, may do so by altering patterns of synaptic plasticity in distinct neural circuits. Numerous studies have examined the effects of acute stress on long-term synaptic plasticity; however, few have examined its influence on short-term plasticity. The present experiments directly assessed the effects of acute stress on short-term synaptic plasticity as measured by paired pulse facilitation (PPF) of excitatory postsynaptic potentials recorded from rat dorsal hippocampus (dHip) in vivo. Long-term potentiation (LTP) was also examined. Acute stress induced by exposure to an elevated platform impaired PPF and LTP in the dHip. Pretreatment of rats exposed to stress with mifepristone (RU38486; 10 mg kg⁻¹) blocked the stress-induced impairment of both PPF and LTP. These data demonstrate that activation of glucocorticoid receptors during acute stress disrupts normal patterns of both PPF and LTP in the dHip.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
