Central role of the brain in stress and adaptation: links to socioeconomic status, health, and disease

BS McEwen, PJ Gianaros - Annals of the New York Academy of …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The brain is the key organ of stress reactivity, coping, and recovery processes. Within the
brain, a distributed neural circuitry determines what is threatening and thus stressful to the …
