Stress: Neuroendocrinology and Neurobiology

Neuroendocrinology of coping styles: towards understanding the biology of individual variation.

Individual variation in behavior and physiology is a widespread and ecologically functional phenomenon in nature in virtually all vertebrate species. Due to domestication of laboratory animals, studies may suffer from a strong selection bias. This paper summarizes behavioral, neuroendocrine and neurobiological studies using the natural individual variation in rats and mice. Individual behaviora...

Posttraumatic stress disorder under ongoing threat: a review of neurobiological and neuroendocrine findings

BACKGROUND Although numerous studies have investigated the neurobiology and neuroendocrinology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after single finished trauma, studies on PTSD under ongoing threat are scarce and it is still unclear whether these individuals present similar abnormalities. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this review is to present the neurobiological and neuroendocrine findings on...
