TLDR
The survival and well-being of all species requires appropriate physiological responses to environmental and homeostatic challenges, so that the respective contributions of the neuroendocrine and autonomic systems are tuned in accordance with stressor modality and intensity.
Abstract
The survival and well-being of all species requires appropriate physiological responses to environmental and homeostatic challenges. The re-establishment and maintenance of homeostasis entails the coordinated activation and control of neuroendocrine and autonomic stress systems. These collective stress responses are mediated by largely overlapping circuits in the limbic forebrain, the hypothalamus and the brainstem, so that the respective contributions of the neuroendocrine and autonomic systems are tuned in accordance with stressor modality and intensity. Limbic regions that are responsible for regulating stress responses intersect with circuits that are responsible for memory and reward, providing a means to tailor the stress response with respect to prior experience and anticipated outcomes.

Adverse childhood experiences, allostasis, allostatic load, and age-related disease

TL;DR: Adverse childhood experiences induce significant biological changes in children (biological embedding), modifying the maturation and the operating balance of allostatic systems, and can exert long-term effects on biological aging and health.

The neuro-symphony of stress

TL;DR: Together, the effects of individual mediators on neuronal function and plasticity are integrated, and emerging evidence suggests that there is crosstalk between them that enables fine-tuned responses to diverse challenges.

Psychobiology and molecular genetics of resilience.

TL;DR: Research has shown that resilience is mediated by adaptive changes in several neural circuits involving numerous neurotransmitter and molecular pathways, which shape the functioning of the neural circuits that regulate reward, fear, emotion reactivity and social behaviour.

Regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical stress response

TL;DR: Chronic stress-induced activation of the HPA axis takes many forms (chronic basal hypersecretion, sensitized stress responses, and even adrenal exhaustion), with manifestation dependent upon factors such as stressor chronicity, intensity, frequency, and modality.

What is the role of dopamine in reward: hedonic impact, reward learning, or incentive salience?

TL;DR: It is suggested that dopamine may be more important to incentive salience attributions to the neural representations of reward-related stimuli and is a distinct component of motivation and reward.
