Journal ArticleDOI
Protective and Damaging Effects of Stress Mediators
TL;DR: The long-term effect of the physiologic response to stress is reviewed, which I refer to as allostatic load, which is the ability to achieve stability through change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of stress throughout the lifespan on the brain, behaviour and cognition
TL;DR: In this Review a model is developed to explain why different disorders emerge in individuals exposed to stress at different times in their lives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress, adaptation, and disease. Allostasis and allostatic load.
TL;DR: The relationship of allostatic load to genetic and developmental predispositions to disease is considered and examples will be given from research pertaining to autonomic, CNS, neuroendocrine, and immune system activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress and the Individual: Mechanisms Leading to Disease
Bruce S. McEwen,Eliot Stellar +1 more
TL;DR: A new formulation of the relationship between stress and the processes leading to disease is presented, emphasizing the cascading relationships between environmental factors and genetic predispositions that lead to large individual differences in susceptibility to stress and, in some cases, to disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiology and Neurobiology of Stress and Adaptation: Central Role of the Brain
TL;DR: As an adjunct to pharmaceutical therapy, social and behavioral interventions such as regular physical activity and social support reduce the chronic stress burden and benefit brain and body health and resilience.
