In a separate study, the team then compared the set of genes that are active in the prefrontal cortex of resilient and non-resilient mice before and after stress to understand the molecular ...

In humans, the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays an important role in moderation of stress and also in social cognition, so the researchers theorized that the same may be true for mice.
