RNA-seq analysis of stress-induced transcription in the rat prefrontal cortex
This project aims to characterize the transcriptomic profile of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of Sprague-Dawley rats following stress. We use RNA sequencing to identify transient regulatory programs involved in stress adaptation. Data focused on synaptic remodeling pathways provide insights into molecular cascades that may underlie stress-induced neuroplasticity and susceptibility to psychiatric disorders. Raw FASTQ files and processed count matrices will be deposited with metadata that complies with MIAME guidelines.
