1 Phenytoin prevents stress- and corticosterone-induced atrophy of CA3 pyramidal neurons. Corticosterone carbonic anhydrase 3 Rattus norvegicus
2 Repeated daily restraint stress and daily corticosterone administration to adult male Sprague-Dawley rats leads to decreases in the number of branch points and length of dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons of the hippocampal formation. Corticosterone carbonic anhydrase 3 Rattus norvegicus
3 Stress- and corticosterone-induced effects on dendritic length and branch point number are more pronounced on the apical, as opposed to the basal, CA3 dendrites that receive the largest mossy fiber input from the dentate gyrus. Corticosterone carbonic anhydrase 3 Rattus norvegicus
4 Because phenytoin is also known to prevent ischemic damage, these results are consistent with a model in which stress- and corticosterone-induced CA3 dendritic atrophy is produced by excitatory amino acids released from the mossy fibers. Corticosterone carbonic anhydrase 3 Rattus norvegicus
