Evaluating the network adequacy of vision care services for children in Arizona: A cross sectional study.

Background: Vision challenges are among the most prevalent disabling conditions in childhood, affecting up to 28% of school-age children. These issues can impact the development, learning, and literacy skills of affected children. While vision problems are correctable with timely diagnosis and treatment, insufficient networks can impede children's access to comprehensive, and high-quality care.

Chronic stress leads to persistent and contrasting stellate neuron dendritic hypertrophy in the amygdala of male and female rats, an effect not found in the hippocampus.

In males, chronic stress enhances dendritic complexity in the amygdala, a region important in emotion regulation. An amygdalar subregion, the basolateral amygdala (BLA), is influenced by the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex to coordinate emotional learning and memory. This study quantified changes in dendritic complexity of BLA stellate neurons ten days after an unpredictable chronic stressor ended in both male and female rats.
