Early life stress alone impairs hippocampal development. Stress, in addition to maternal mistreatment within the first few weeks of life, also hinders amygdala development.
A new study reports that a single stressful event may cause long term consequences in the brain.
A new study reports that after chronic stress, primed immune cells cause an excessive reaction to a later event.
Chronic stress invokes irritable bowel syndrome-like symptoms in mouse models.
Chronic stress alters gene activity in immune cells before they reach the bloodstream. The change leads to an overabundance of inflammation, which is linked to many negative health effects, a new study reports.
Chronic stress which involves the HPA axis may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease, researchers report.
A new study reports that serotonin promotes the consolidation of traumatic memories following stress events. Additionally, SSRI medications which are commonly prescribed for PTSD may make the condition worse by enhancing the effects of serotonin.
Researchers show chronic stress generates long term changes in the brain. The finding could explain why people suffering from chronic stress are prone to developing additional mental health problems.
Researchers discover miR19b modulates behavioral response to chronic stress in mice.
According to new research, stress induced depression may be overcome by inducing neurons which were activated during previous positive experiences.
Chronic stress during pregnancy increases neuroinflammation. The immune changes may create circumstances in the brain, which increase susceptibility to postnatal depression.
Researchers pin memory loss to neuroinflammation and the immune system following sustained stress.
