Adaptive Reorganization of Local Sleep and Prelimbic Cortical Circuits Predict Behavioral Resilience to Social Defeat Stress

Understanding the biological mechanisms responsible for resilience to stress—the ability to overcome adverse conditions—remains a major challenge. While sleep is a known regulator of resilience, the localized cortical dynamics that facilitate this process remain unclear. We hypothesized that resilience to social stress...
