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

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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress and hippocampal plasticity.

TL;DR: The hippocampus is a target of stress hormones, and it is an especially plastic and vulnerable region of the brain that undergoes a selective atrophy in a number of disorders, accompanied by deficits in declarative episodic, spatial, and contextual memory performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deficient long-term memory in mice with a targeted mutation of the cAMP-responsive element-binding protein

TL;DR: Consistent with models claiming a role for long-term potentiation (LTP) in memory, LTP in hippocampal slices from CREB mutants decayed to baseline 90 min after tetanic stimulation, however, paired-pulse facilitation and posttetanic potentiation are normal.
