Exposure to stress during critical periods in development can have severe long-term
consequences, increasing overall risk on psychopathology. One of the key stress response …

Stress activates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, which then modulates the
degree of adaptation and response to a later stressor. It is known that early-life stress can …

Experience of early life stress (ELS) and trauma is highly prevalent in the general population
and has a high public health impact, as it can trigger a health-related risk cascade and lead …

Studies of early life stress (ELS) demonstrate the long-lasting effects of acute and chronic
stress on developmental trajectories. Such experiences can become biologically …

Effective coordination of the biological stress response is integral for the behavioural well
being of an organism. Stress reactivity is coordinated by an interplay of the neuroendocrine …

Organisms react to environmental challenges by activating a coordinated set of brain–body
responses known as the stress response. These physiological and behavioral …

In this review, we provide a brief summary of several key studies that broaden our
understanding of stress and its epigenetic control of the function and behavior of the …

Stress is an ubiquitous phenomenon with significant impact on human physiology when it
lasts too long, when it is too intense, or when it hits vulnerable individuals. Examining the …

Evidence indicates that early life stress (ELS) may act as a risk factor for the development
and maintenance of adulthood severe mental health disorders due to persistent …

Research on the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenocortical (HPA) axis has emerged as a vital
area within the field of developmental psychopathology in the past 25 years. Extensive …
