We have shown previously that chronic restraint stress causes atrophy of apical dendrites and alterations in the spine density of CA3 hippocampal neurons in rats. In the present study, the effect of 45 days of rehabilitation following 21 days of restraint stress on the dendritic morphology of CA3 neurons of the hippocampus was carried out. The results revealed that 45 days of rehabilitation rev...
