In the dorsal hippocampus, GR and MR were significantly increased in the nuclear compartment in PTSD-phenotype rats in compression to control and MBR, whereas the ventral hippocampus presented reduced GR and MR translocation., In the PTSD-phenotype, there were overall more MRs and GRs present in the dorsal hippocampus in compression to MBR and control, while in the ventral hippocampus, there was an overall reduction in both MR and GR. Here, BCL2A1 is linked to post-traumatic stress disorder.
