Caffeine acts through neuronal adenosine A 2A receptors to prevent mood and memory dysfunction triggered by chronic stress
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Epidemiological studies show that individuals exposed to repeated stress, a major trigger of depression, increase their caffeine intake, which correlates inversely with the incidence of depression. However, the mechanism underlying this protective effect is unknown. We used an animal model of chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) to show that caffeine prevents the maladaptive changes caused by CUS in a manner mimicked by the selective blockade of adenosine A 2A receptors (A 2A R). CUS enhanced A 2A R in synapses, and the selective elimination of neuronal A 2A R abrogated CUS modifications. Moreover, A 2A R blockade also afforded a therapeutic benefit, paving the way to consider A 2A R blockers as a strategy to manage the negative impact of chronic stress on mood and memory.

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.
