- The brain is the key organ of the response to stress because it determines what is threatening and, therefore, potentially stressful, as well as the physiological and behavioral responses which can be either adaptive or damaging.

The brain is the central organ of perceiving and adapting to social and physical stressors via multiple interacting mediators from the cell surface to the cytoskeleton to epigenetic regulation and non-genomic mechanisms. A key result of stress is ...
May 7, 2024 · A stress response is mediated through a complex interplay of nervous, endocrine, and immune mechanisms, activating the sympathetic-adreno-medullar (SAM) axis, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and the immune system. [1] .
