A new study finds exercise reorganized the brain so that its response to stress is reduced and anxiety is less likely to interfere with normal brain function.
Researchers discover an enhanced expression of the CRF-1 gene the ovum of rats exposed to stress prior to conceiving. Additionally, enhanced expression of the gene was noted in newborn rats whose mothers were exposed to stress.
A new study finds the switch from conscious to unconscious learning systems is triggered by the intact function of mineralocorticoid receptors.
The "hunger hormone" ghrelin, when released during chronic stress, makes the brain more vulnerable to traumatic events. Researchers suggest this could predispose people to PTSD.
Infants who do not receive analgesics while undergoing treatment and tests in neonatal intensive care could have permanently altered future responses to anxiety, pain and stress in adulthood, a new study reports.
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.
Researchers isolate a gene responsible for dopamine connectivity in the medial prefrontal cortex during adolescence.
Researchers discover neural circuitry which promotes stress induced anxiety.
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.
A new study reports that after chronic stress, primed immune cells cause an excessive reaction to a later event.
Researchers report results of experiments designed to assess the impacts of social stress upon adolescent mice, both at the time they are experienced and during adulthood.
The gene REDD1 enables stress to damage neurons and cause depressive behavior, a new study reports.
