	Slide 7: We are interested in the hippocampus because it contains adrenal steriod receptors. Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 8: Glutamate is another important player in the hippocampal drama. Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 9: Parts of the entorhinal cortex/ mossy fiber / schaeffer collateral circuit  undergo structural remodeling as a result of repeated stress. Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 10: In parts of this tri-synpatic circuit, activation of adrenal steriod receptors can potentiate and suppress LTP and LTD. Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 11: Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Click for: AUDIO
	Slide 12: A number of factors increase  stem cell division in dentate gyrus. Stress can suppress generation of new cells. Click for: AUDIO #1    AUDIO #2
