Abstract

Glucocorticoids and their receptors (GRs) are implicated in dynamic cognitive and neuroendocrine processes mediated by the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Additionally, a primary defect in forebrain GR levels can mimic symptoms of depression. We hypothesized that changes in GR mRNA levels may occur in the human brain across the life span thus positioning GR to differentially influence behavior and disease susceptibility. Following in situ hybridization with a riboprobe for human GR mRNA, we employed quantitative film autoradiography to measure expression levels in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in five age groups (infants, adolescents, young adults, adults, and aged) and in primary visual and visual association cortices for comparison. We detected a main effect of age group on cortical, but not hippocampal GR mRNA, with greater cortical expression in adolescents and adults than in infants or the aged. Increased GR mRNA in prefrontal cortex during adolescence and adulthood suggests that human GR-mediated forebrain regulation of cognition and the neuroendocrine stress response may be more salient during late maturation and at maturity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
