Cannabinoid receptor activation in the basolateral amygdala blocks the effects of stress on the conditioning and extinction of inhibitory avoidance.

7 Sep 2009 Despite the efficacy of behavior therapy for human anxiety disorders, extinction-like treatments require repeated cue exposures and are vulnerable to reversal by a number of environmental factors, particularly stress. The endocannabinoid system has ... Read more...

Stress questionnaires and stress biomarkers during pregnancy.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Both self-reported indicators of stress and hormones such as cortisol and corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) have been examined in relation to preterm birth. Although these hormones have been interpreted as biomarkers of stress, it is ... Read more...

The maternal cortisol awakening response in human pregnancy is associated with the length of gestation.

27 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between intraindividual changes in cortisol responsiveness over pregnancy and the length of human gestation. STUDY DESIGN: Pregnancy-related changes in the cortisol awakening ... Read more...
