TLDR
The advanced understanding of the CNS effects of glucocorticoids will ultimately lead to progress in the treatment of psychiatric and systemic diseases characterized by hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal hyper- or hypo-activity.

TLDR
Results obtained with the use of the environmental enrichment model in animals and in humans suggest that positive environmental factors can help to maintain neuronal plasticity during aging and to protect the brain against the damaging effects of stress exposure.

Elevated Cortisol Leaves Working Memory Unaffected in Both Men and Women
TLDR
Cross-study methodological differences account for reports describing sex differences in effects of stress on WM performance, and it is speculated that between-study variation in the magnitude of baseline cortisol levels might affect outcomes.
Acute stress-induced cortisol elevation during memory consolidation enhances pattern separation
TLDR
Stress induced changes in cortisol differentially affect the consolidation and retrieval stages of memory function, with better discrimination showing a significant correlation with increased cortisol responses.

Brain corticosteroid receptor balance in health and disease.
TLDR
The balance in actions mediated by the two corticosteroid receptor types in these neurons appears critical for neuronal excitability, stress responsiveness, and behavioral adaptation and Dysregulation of this MR/GR balance brings neurons in a vulnerable state with consequences for regulation of the stress response and enhanced vulnerability to disease in genetically predisposed individuals.
