Glucocorticoid Rhythms, Stress Response and the Brain from Neonates to Adults

Lightman Stafford

Biological systems are invariably dynamic, with both stochastic interactions and deterministic processes across multiple timescales ensuring the maintenance of homeostatic regulation and allowing us to adapt to changes in both internal and external environments. It is no surprise therefore that the stress responsive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis shows multiple levels of regulation which come together to regulate oscillating levels of glucocorticoid secretion with b...
