Corticosterone rapidly modulates dorsomedial hypothalamus serotonin and behavior in an estrogen- and progesterone-dependent manner in adult female rats: potential role of organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3)

Stress
Previous studies have shown that corticosterone rapidly alters extracellular serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) concentrations in the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH) of adult male rats, suggesting a role for corticosterone actions in the DMH in ...
