MiR-186-5p inhibition restores synaptic transmission and neuronal network activity in a model of chronic stress by Rodrigues, B, Leitão, RA, Santos, M, Trofimov, A, Silva, M, Inácio, ÂS, Abreu, M, Nobre, RJ, Costa, J, Cardoso, AL, Milosevic, I, Peça, J, Oliveiros, B, Pereira de Almeida, L, Pinheiro, PS, Carvalho, AL

“…Additionally, viral overexpression of miR-186-5p in the PFC of naïve mice induces anxiety- and depressive-like behaviours. The upregulation of miR-186-5p through prolonged glucocorticoid receptor activation in vitro, or in a mouse model of chronic stress, differentially affects glutamatergic and GABAergic synaptic transmission, causing an imbalance in excitation/inhibition that leads to altered neuronal network activity. …”
