Based on a review of relevant litera...

متن کاملNeural Mechanisms of Stress Resilience and Vulnerability
Exposure to stressful events can be differently perceived by individuals and can have persistent sequelae depending on the level of stress resilience or vulnerability of each person. The neural processes that underlie such clinically and socially important differences reside in the anatomical, functional, and molecular connectivity of the brain. Recent work has provided novel insight into some ...
