Stress initiates an intricate response that affects diverse cognitive and affective domains,
with the goal of improving survival chances in the light of changing environmental …

Vulnerability to emotional disorders including depression derives from interactions between
genes and environment, especially during sensitive developmental periods. Adverse early …

In the forced swim test (FST) rodents progressively show increased episodes of immobility if
immersed in a beaker with water from where escape is not possible. In this test, a compound …

The survival and well-being of all species requires appropriate physiological responses to

The primary purpose of this study was to examine, using meta-analytical techniques, the
differential effects of differing intensities of acute exercise on speed and accuracy of …

All organisms possess innate behavioural and physiological programmes that ensure
survival. In order to have maximum adaptive benefit, these programmes must be sufficiently …

The impact of stress on brain function is increasingly recognized. Various substances are
released in response to stress and can influence distinct neuronal circuits, but the functional …

Bruce McEwen's discovery of receptors for corticosterone in the rat hippocampus introduced
higher brain circuits in the neuroendocrinology of stress. Subsequently, these receptors …

The brain and body need to adapt constantly to changing social and physical environments.
A key mechanism for this adaptation is the 'stress response', which is necessary and not …

Objective: The objectives of this paper are to develop and test the ability of a wearable
physiological sensors system, based on ECG, EDA, and EEG, to capture human stress and …
