Wade and colleagues analyze data from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project to examine whether stress reactivity measured at age 12 may serve as a mechanism linking early institutional deprivation with psychopathology at age 16.
Evidence suggests that stress during development might lead to sexual dysfunction. Here, authors show that pubertal stress disrupted female sexual behavior by reducing activation of nitric oxide synthase-expressing neurons in response to male cues.
A regulated stress response is essential for healthy child growth and development. Here, the authors show that a nutrition, water, sanitation, and hygiene intervention enhanced adaptive responses of the physiological stress system in early childhood.
The authors report data from the emergency department AURORA study to characterize resilience in more detail than the absence of psychopathology after trauma.
Increased levels of matrix metalloproteinase 8, expressed by circulating myeloid cells, may have a role in stress-induced changes in social behaviour in mice.
Two articles in Nature Reviews Psychology propose a resilience-based approach to mental health outcomes that shifts attention from a binary view of psychopathology to diversity.
