Previous studies suggest that circulating glucocorticoids may influence the encoding and processing of sensory stimuli. The current study investigated this hypothesis by measuring the generation ...

Glucocorticoids exert profound effects on behavior and are critical mediators of adaptive stress responses. Although glucocorticoid-mediated stress responses are often attributed to transcriptional ...

Researchers have developed a soft contact lens embedded with electrical stimulation electrodes that, in a mouse model of ...

Researchers have shown how the brain's circadian rhythm in rats is, among other things, controlled by the stress hormone corticosterone -- in humans called cortisol. This has been shown by means of a ...

Traditionally, researchers have analyzed blood samples to detect corticosterone levels in wild birds. But recently, scientists have shown that corticosterone spikes can also be detected by analyzing ...

A study in mice has shown that cancer could disrupt the body's corticosterone-circulating rhythm, and fixing it led to a significant shrinking of tumours -- findings that may help boost the ...
