Metabotropic glutamate receptor mediated synaptic plasticity in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis as a target for stress, anxiety and addiction disorders
(2006-01-20)
The importance of integration of information from neurocircuits innervating the reward circuitry is becoming increasingly recognized. For instance, the roles of stress/anxiety pathways in modulating specific effects of ...
Reciprocal relations between peer stress and internalizing and externalizing symptoms during adolescence
(2004-07-30)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relations between peer stress and internalizing and externalizing symptoms across 4 years in adolescents whose risk for depression varied. The sample was comprised of 240 ...
Parental Depression, Economic Disadvantage, and the Dual Process Model of Responses to Stress in Children
(2009-03-30)
Previous research has shown that both having a parent with depression and economic disadvantage are chronically stressful and lead to poorer outcomes in children and adolescents, but these stressors have never been studied ...
α1-adrenergic receptor regulation of excitatory transmission in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis: characterization, mechanism, and potential role in disease
(2009-04-21)
Synaptic plasticity is proposed to be a molecular mechanism underlying multiple forms of learning. The modulation of synaptic plasticity, therefore, may have profound consequences over behavior and may mediate pathological ...
Recurrent Abdominal Pain, Anxiety, and Responses to Stress in Children and Adolescents
(2008-05-20)
Recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) is the most common type of recurrent pediatric pain. Much evidence shows that this condition adversely affects many areas of a child’s functioning, including repeated school problems and ...
Psychological and Biological Stress During Mother-Daughter Communication About Breast Cancer Risk
(2007-05-30)
Mothers and their adolescent and young adult daughters at risk for breast cancer may experience stress as a result of being at risk for the disease. The current study examined psychological and biological stress responses ...
Characterization of the Function and Localization of the Alpha2A-Adrenergic Receptor in the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis
(2009-06-15)
The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a region of the brain critical in mediating behavioral and physiological responses to stress and anxiety. Stress is a major cause of relapse for drug addicts attempting ...
