Salivary cortisol as a biomarker in stress research.
TLDR
The present paper addresses several psychological and biological variables, which may account for such dissociations, and aims to help researchers to rate the validity and psychobiological significance of salivary cortisol as an HPAA biomarker of stress in their experiments.About:

Acute stress increases risky decisions and dampens prefrontal activation among adolescent boys.
Jessica P. Uy,Adriana Galván +1 more
TL;DR: Adolescence is characterized by increased risky decision‐making, enhanced mesolimbic response to risk and reward, increased perceived stress, and heightened physiological response to stress relative to other age groups, and evidence suggests that acute stress increases risky decision-making by stress‐induced increases of dopamine in regions implicated in reward processing and decision‐ making.

Psychological stress and cortisol during pregnancy: An ecological momentary assessment (EMA)-Based within- and between-person analysis.
Claudia Lazarides,Elizabeth Ben Ward,Claudia Buss,Wen-Pin Chen,Manuel C. Voelkle,Daniel L. Gillen,Pathik D. Wadhwa,Sonja Entringer,Sonja Entringer +8 more
TL;DR: This study highlights the value of EMA methods and linear mixed-modeling approaches in linking maternal psychological and physiological states across pregnancy and may have important implications for the development of personalized risk identification and "just-in-time" intervention strategies to optimize maternal and child health.

Shirodhara: A psycho-physiological profile in healthy volunteers.
TL;DR: The clinical benefits observed with Shirodhara in anxiety neurosis, hypertension, and stress aggravation due to chronic degenerative diseases could be mediated through these adaptive physiological effects.

Diurnal cortisol variation and cortisol response to an MRI stressor in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
Leah Girshkin,Leah Girshkin,Nicole O’Reilly,Nicole O’Reilly,Nicole O’Reilly,Yann Quidé,Nina Teroganova,Nina Teroganova,Jesseca E. Rowland,Jesseca E. Rowland,Peter R. Schofield,Peter R. Schofield,Melissa J. Green +12 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that cortisol responses may normalize with medication and longer illness duration in SZ and BD, in line with findings of aberrant cortisol levels in the early stages of psychotic disorders.

Real-time stress assessment using thermal imaging
Kan Hong,Sheng Hong +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental result demonstrates that DEFP has the capacity to classify stress and baseline status and an accuracy rate of over 90 % suggests the feasibility of the real-time assessment of stress, disregarding personal factors.

Impact of gender, menstrual cycle phase, and oral contraceptives on the activity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.
TL;DR: Although men seem to have a stronger hypothalamic drive in response to stressful stimulation than women, differences in salivary-free cortisol levels, at least in part, may be explained by estradiol-induced changes in corticosteroid-binding protein levels.

Free Cortisol Levels after Awakening: A Reliable Biological Marker for the Assessment of Adrenocortical Activity
Jens C. Pruessner,Oliver T. Wolf,Dirk H. Hellhammer,Angelika Buske-Kirschbaum,K. von Auer,Silke Jobst,F. Kaspers,Clemens Kirschbaum +7 more
TL;DR: Early morning cortisol levels can be a reliable biological marker for the individual's adrenocortical activity when measured repeatedly with strict reference to the time of awakening, in contrast to single assessments at fixed times.

Maternal care during infancy regulates the development of neural systems mediating the expression of fearfulness in the rat
Christian Caldji,Beth Tannenbaum,Shakti Sharma,Darlene D. Francis,Paul M. Plotsky,Michael J. Meaney +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal care during infancy serves to "program" behavioral responses to stress in the offspring by altering the development of the neural systems that mediate fearfulness.

Limbic system mechanisms of stress regulation: hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis.
TL;DR: The influence of the limbic system on the HPA axis is likely the end result of the overall patterning of responses to given stimuli and glucocorticoids, with the magnitude of the secretory response determined with respect to the relative contributions of the various structures.

The cortisol awakening response (CAR): Facts and future directions
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the anticipation of the upcoming day is of major relevance for the magnitude of the cortisol awakening response, and considerations are addressed concerning the exact function of the CAR.
