Divergent and subnucleus-specific gene expression responses to chronic stress hormone exposure in the amygdala.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most prevalent mental disorders, posing a significant socioeconomic burden worldwide. Its development involves both genetic and environmental factors, among which chronic stress is considered a major contributor. The amygdala, a key brain region for emotional regulation, is critically implicated in MDD pathophysiology. Given its complex subnuclear architecture, it is essential to characterize stress-induced molecular changes at the level of individual subnuclei. To investigate subnucleus-specific molecular adaptations to chronic stress, we performed RNA sequencing on fluorescence-guided micropunch samples from five amygdala-related subnuclei in mice exposed to chronic corticosterone (CORT): the basolateral amygdala (BLA), the lateral and medial central amygdala (CeL, CeM), and the oval and fusiform bed nuclei of the stria terminalis (BNSTov, BNSTfu). Comparative transcriptomic analysis revealed highly divergent and subnucleus-resolved gene expression responses to chronic CORT exposure. Each subregion exhibited unique profiles of differentially expressed genes, implicating alterations in excitatory-inhibitory synaptic balance, glial functions involving oligodendrocytes or astrocytes, and neuropeptide signaling. Our results uncover the molecular heterogeneity of subnucleus-specific responses within the amygdala. These findings highlight the importance of anatomically resolved analyses in elucidating the biological basis of stress-related mental disorders such as MDD, thereby paving the way for more targeted therapeutic strategies.
