Stress can affect cognition in many ways, with the outcome (ie, facilitating or impairing)
depending on a combination of factors related to both stress and the cognitive function …

Studies of psychiatric disorders have traditionally focused on emotional symptoms such as
depression, anxiety and hallucinations. However, poorly controlled cognitive deficits are …

We present a generalizable approach for designing biosensors that can continuously detect
small-molecule biomarkers in real time and without sample preparation. This is achieved by …

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

Empathy for another's physical pain has been demonstrated in humans [1] and mice [2]; in
both species, empathy is stronger between familiars. Stress levels in stranger dyads are …

Evidence suggests that spironolactone, a nonselective mineralocorticoid receptor (MR)
antagonist, modulates alcohol seeking and consumption. Therefore, spironolactone may …

Stress exposure activates the HPA-axis and results in the release of corticosteroids which
bind to two receptor types in the brain: the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and the …

In this 30th anniversary issue review, we focus on the glucocorticoid modulation of limbic‐
prefrontocortical circuitry during stress‐coping. This action of the stress hormone is mediated …

Highlights•Effects of stress on memory retrieval last longer than initially expected.•They are
not restricted to hippocampal-based episodic memories.•They can have long-lasting …

Stress and cortisol are generally considered to impair declarative memory retrieval, although
opposite results have also been reported. Dose-dependent effects and differences between …
