TL;DR: It is argued that exposure to acute stress prompts a reallocation of resources to a salience network, promoting fear and vigilance, at the cost of an executive control network after stress subsides, which normalizes emotional reactivity and enhances higher-order cognitive processes important for long-term survival.

TL;DR: It is revealed that noradrenergic activation during acute stress results in prolonged coupling within a distributed network that integrates information exchange between regions involved in autonomic-neuroendocrine control and vigilant attentional reorienting.

TL;DR: This work highlights challenges to resilience research and makes concrete conceptual and methodological proposals to improve resilience research, and proposes to focus research on the dynamic processes of successful adaptation to stressors in prospective longitudinal studies.

TL;DR: This work sets out to review commonalities and diversities of the stress‐related functional activity and connectivity changes of functional brain networks in healthy adults across procedures and confirms earlier findings of an essential, coordinating role of the SN in the acute stress response and indicates a dynamic roles of the DMN whose function is less clear.

TL;DR: The findings implicate the human PAG in a parasympathetically dominated defense mode that subserves a state of attentive immobility and Mechanistic insight into this qualitatively distinct defense mode may importantly advance translational models of anxiety disorders.
