Periaqueductal Grey differential modulation of Nucleus Accumbens and Basolateral Amygdala plasticity under controllable and uncontrollable stress

Abstract Resilience has been conceptualized in part as a dynamic process that includes the ability to adapt to stressful conditions. As such it encompasses the extent to which neural plasticity may be promoted. The current study examined metaplasticity by referring to the “plasticity of synaptic pla...

description Abstract Resilience has been conceptualized in part as a dynamic process that includes the ability to adapt to stressful conditions.
