A social neuroscience perspective on stress and health.
Open accessAbstract
Psychological stress is a major risk factor for the development and progression of a number of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, and major depression. A growing body of research suggests that long term, stress‐induced activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis may lead to increases in inflammation, which is known to play a key role in the pathophysiology of a variety of diseases. Furthermore, the burgeoning fields of social neuroscience and health neuroscience have begun to identify the neurocognitive mechanisms by which stress may lead to these physiological changes. Here we review the literature examining the neurocognitive correlates of stress‐induced SNS, HPA, and inflammatory responses. Specifically, we summarize the results of neuroimaging studies that have examined the neural correlates of stress‐related increases in SNS, HPA, and inflammatory activity. A set of neural systems involved in threat processing, safety processing, and social cognition are suggested as key contributors to stress‐related changes in physiology. We conclude by offering suggestions for future research in the exciting new field of health neuroscience.

Several other neurocognitive processes, including those implicated in safety processing and social cognition, are also likely involved in anxiety, inflammation, and depression.
“However, several other neurocognitive processes are also likely involved, including those implicated in safety processing (e.g., 'Am I safe?' or 'Am I secure?') and social cognition”

The sections on safety-processing and self and social cognitive processing link these neural systems to physiological responses to stress and, potentially, inflammatory responding (page unavailable). They do not establish the claim’s additional link to anxiety and depression. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredDorsal anterior cingulate cortex, along with amygdala and anterior insula, was suggested to constitute a neural alarm system responsible for detection of environmental threats and regulation of responses to danger including sympathetic nervous system and HPA axis response.
“Along with amygdala and AI, dACC was suggested to constitute a so-called “neural alarm system,” which is responsible for the detection of environmental threats and the regulation of responses to danger including SNS system and HPA axis response (Muscatell and Eisenberger, 2012).”

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.
