The Biology of Being Frazzled
Abstract
Under stress, our brain works differently. From our own experiences we know this, but now several lines of research are defining the neurobiology behind these changes. In her commentary, Arnsten summarizes recent work that demonstrates that some kinds of memory become enhanced (such as the image of a gruesome accident), while higher order thinking, mediated by a region of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, becomes impaired.

“We now understand that the types of tasks that were impaired by stress were those that required PFC operations13, whereas engrained habits that rely on basal ganglia circuits were spared or enhanced14.”

In the citing paper
“adolescents seem particularly prone to have their decision-making influenced by exciting, emotionally charged and/or stressful situations (so called “hot cognitions” – e.g., Arnsten, 1998; Dahl, 2001; Figner et al, 2009).”

In the citing paper
“stressors tending to increase activation in the ventral striatum, amygdala and other subcortical regions such as the hippocampus, while attenuating functional efficacy within the PFC (Arnsten, 1998, Liston et al, 2009)”

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.
