Research
PTSD Research at
Fort Bragg - how neuropeptide-Y activity in the prefrontal cortex is
associated with greater stress tolerance in army recruits.
Burnout, Perceived Stress, and Cortisol Responses to Awakening -
research showing that teachers suffering from burnout have lower cortisol
responses, and that mental attitude is the main factor in causing burnout.
The role of personality in the development
and perpetuation of chronic fatigue syndrome - research showing that
CFS patients tend to be perfectionists.
Interplay in vitro between ACTH, beta-endorphin, and glucocorticoids in the modulation of spontaneous and lymphokine-inducible human natural killer (NK) cell activity - research showing how the HPA axis
influences the immune system.
Changes in Brain
Function of Depressed Subjects During Treatment With Placebo - research
showing that the placebo effect results in changes in the prefrontal
cortex of the brain.
Stress activation of glutamate neurotransmission in the prefrontal cortex: implications for dopamine-associated psychiatric disorders - research showing how the prefrontal cortex modulates activation of
the HPA axis.
Neuroendocrine perturbations in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome - overview of research showing that CFS patients
have an underactive HPA axis.
Brain regions involved in fatigue sensation: reduced acetylcarnitine uptake into the brain - research showing that
CFS patients have abnormal levels of glutamate synthesis in the prefrontal
cortex (and other areas of the brain).
