Despite the fact that many research articles have been written about stress and stress-
related diseases, no scientifically accepted definition of stress exists. Selye introduced and …

Stressful stimuli evoke complex endocrine, autonomic, and behavioral responses that are
extremely variable and specific depending on the type and nature of the stressors. We first …

The distribution of neural inputs to the paraventricular (PVH) and supraoptic (SO) nuclei from
the regions of the A1, the A2, and the A6 (locus coeruleus) noradrenergic cell groups was …

Experimental evidence indicates that catecholamines are able to modulate information
processing in the amygdaloid complex. The dense catecholaminergic innervation of the …

The functional role of central catecholamines in regulation of ACTH secretion remains
controversial. In the present report, the nature of catecholaminergic influences was directly …
