Show abstract
Glucocorticoids play a crucial role in the stress response and in the regulation of circadian function, as well as cognitive, cardiovascular, metabolic and immunological processes. While synthetic glucocorticoids (sGC) are widely used in treating inflammatory disorders, their impact on cognitive functions, which include memory deficits and dysregulation of mood, remains less understood. Here, we demonstrate that chronic treatment with the sGC methylprednisolone (MPL) dysregulates the synaptic proteome and impairs cognitive function in the perirhinal cortex, a region critical for recognition memory and visual perception. Further, we show that synaptic structure and plasticity are altered by MPL treatment, highlighting the mechanisms through which sGCs disrupt mnemonic processing. These results may have broad implications for understanding the cognitive side effects of widely used sGC treatments.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
