Central corticotropin releasing factor and social stress
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013 Social interactions are a main source of stress in vertebrates. Social stressors, as well as other stressors, activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis resulting in glucocorticoid release.

CRF and urocortin peptides as modulators of energy balance and feeding behavior during stress. [PDF]
, 2014 Early on, corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a hallmark brain peptide mediating many components of the stress response, was shown to affect food intake inducing a robust anorexigenic response when injected into the rodent brain.

Nature Communications, 2022 Here, the authors report structures of corticotropin releasing factor receptor 2 (CRF2R) bound to agonist Urocortin 1 (UCN1) and coupled to G proteins G11 and Go, offering insight into the structural basis for the ability of CRF2R to couple with multiple

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers [PDF]
, 2017 Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein–coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating ...

Corticotropin releasing factor in neuroplasticity [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 2014 Stress is among the strongest signals promoting neuroplasticity: Stress signals, indicating real or perceived danger, lead to alterations of neuronal function and often structure, designed to adapt to the changed conditions and promote survival. Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) is expressed and released in several types of neuronal populations that

Augmented Cocaine Seeking in Response to Stress or CRF Delivered into the Ventral Tegmental Area Following Long-Access Self-Administration Is Mediated by CRF Receptor Type 1 But Not CRF Receptor Type 2 [PDF]
, 2011 Stressful events are determinants of relapse in recovering cocaine addicts. Excessive cocaine use may increase susceptibility to stressor-induced relapse through alterations in brain corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) regulation of neurocircuitry ...

PLoS ONE, 2022 Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) systems in limbic structures are posited to mediate stress-induced relapse in addiction, traditionally by generating distress states that spur drug consumption as attempts at hedonic self-medication.
