Dendritic spine density is increased on nucleus accumbens D2 neurons after chronic social defeat
Abstract Stress alters the structure and function of brain reward circuitry and is an important risk factor for developing depression. In the nucleus accumbens (NAc), structural and physiological plasticity of medium spiny neurons (MSNs) have been linked to increased stress-related and depression-li...
