Stress Induced Neuroplasticity and Mental Disorders

Stress Induced Neuroplasticity and Mental Disorders

Neuromodulator and Emotion Biomarker for Stress Induced Mental Disorders

Affective disorders are a leading cause of disabilities worldwide, and the etiology of these many affective disorders such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder is due to hormone changes, which includes hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis in the peripheral nervous system and neuromodulators in the central nervous system. Consistent with pharmacological studies indicating that medical ...

Psoriasis, mental disorders and stress.

Etiology of psoriasis is still not known and comprises a range of assumptions and very complex etiological and pathogenetic mechanisms. Along with genetical predisposition, mental disorders and stresses might have a key role in the occurrence of this disease. Total number of 70 patients suffering from psoriasis were included in the investigation. Generally accepted structured clinical interview...

Common aspects of neuroplasticity, stress, mood disorders and mitochondrial functions

Neuroplasticity is a fundamental mechanism of neuronal adaptation to external and internal stimuli. There are evidences that chronic stress and mood disorders disrupt neuroplasticity, while antidepressant treatment can enhance neuroplasticity. Mitochondria strongly affect many intracellular processes coupled to plasticity and neuron survival. Mitochondrial dysfunctions are assuming an increasin...

Stress, Depression and Neuroplasticity

Modifications of signaling pathways and synapses owing to changing behaviors, environments, numerous neural modulation as well as brain-tissue injuries is defined as neuroplasticity in developmental neurology. The central purpose of the review is to gain a better understanding of the relation between stress, depression and neuroplasticity and explore potential therapeutic interventions for enha...
