Abstract

Stress has been linked to the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of mood and anxiety disorders. Over the past few years, our understanding of the brain and neuroendocrine circuits that are linked to the stress response have increased dramatically. This article reviews a series of animal and human studies aimed at understanding what are the pathways by which stress is perceived, processed, and transduced into a neuroendocrine response. We focus on the classic stress circuit: the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (LHPA) axis. These studies indicate that the LHPA stress circuit is a complex system with multiple control mechanisms and that these mechanisms are altered in pathological states, such as chronic stress and depression. These studies also suggest that the interactions between the LHPA and other neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, may provide the neurobiological substrate by which stress may affect mood.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
