- The brain is the central organ of stress and adaptation to stress because it perceives and determines what is threatening, as well as the behavioral and physiological responses to the stressor, which promote adaptation (“allostasis”) but also contribute to pathophysiology (“allostatic load/overload”) when overused and dysregulated.

Apr 3, 2024 · Research suggests that chronic stress contributes to high blood pressure, promotes the formation of artery-clogging deposits, and causes brain changes that may contribute to anxiety, depression, and addiction.

The brain is a primary mediator and target of stress resiliency and vulnerability processes because it determines what is threatening and because it regulates the behavioral and physiological responses to a given stressor.
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.
May 7, 2024 · Stress response is a nuanced interplay among diverse brain centers, particularly the neural mechanisms responsible for triggering stress reactions, which include the locus coeruleus, limbic system, and hypothalamic efferent activation complex.

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.

Jun 19, 2018 · The response to short-term stress is critical for survival. It powers the “fight-or-flight” response that allows animals to respond quickly to danger signs. When we’re startled, or acutely stressed “fear center” of the brain, called the amygdala activates our central stress response system.
