Prenatal stress alters spine density and dendritic length of nucleus accumbens and hippocampus neurons in rat offspring.

30 Aug 2009 Prenatal stress alters neuronal morphology of mesocorticolimbic structures such as frontal cortex and hippocampus in the adult offspring. We investigated here the effects of prenatal stress on the spine density and the dendrite morphology of ... Read more...

Chronic stress causes frontostriatal reorganization and affects decision-making.

29 Jul 2009 The ability to shift between different behavioral strategies is necessary for appropriate decision-making. Here, we show that chronic stress biases decision-making strategies, affecting the ability of stressed animals to perform actions on the basis ... Read more...

Cortisol patterns and brachial artery reactivity in a high stress environment.

15 Jul 2009 Chronic stress can result in frequent or persistent challenges of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis resulting in abnormal cortisol patterns and increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Police work is an environment replete with ... Read more...
