Most-cited papers in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience

A Comprehensive Overview on Stress Neurobiology: Basic Concepts and Clinical Implications

Lívea Dornela Godoy, Matheus Teixeira Rossignoli, Polianna Delfino-Pereira et al. · 3 Jul 2018

Stress is recognized as an important issue in basic and clinical neuroscience research, based upon the founding historical studies by Walter Canon and Hans Selye in the past century, when the concept of stress emerged in a biological and adaptive perspective. A lot of research after that period has expanded the knowledge in the stress…

Understanding resilience

Gang Wu, Adriana Feder, Hagit Cohen et al. · 1 Jan 2013

Resilience is the ability to adapt successfully in the face of stress and adversity. Stressful life events, trauma, and chronic adversity can have a substantial impact on brain function and structure, and can result in the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and other psychiatric disorders. However, most individuals do not develop such illnesses…

Early-life programming of later-life brain and behavior: a critical role for the immune system

Staci D. Bilbo · 1 Jan 2009

The immune system is well characterized for its critical role in host defense. Far beyond this limited role however, there is mounting evidence for the vital role the immune system plays within the brain, in both normal, "homeostatic" processes (e.g., sleep, metabolism, memory), as well as in pathology, when the dysregulation of immune molecules may…

Prenatal stress, glucocorticoids and the programming of adult disease

Elizabeth C. Cottrell · 1 Jan 2009

Numerous clinical studies associate an adverse prenatal environment with the development of cardio-metabolic disorders and neuroendocrine dysfunction, as well as an increased risk of psychiatric diseases in later life. Experimentally, prenatal exposure to stress or excess glucocorticoids in a variety of animal models can malprogram offspring physiology, resulting in a reduction in birth weight and…

Water associated zero maze: a novel rat test for long term traumatic re-experiencing

Gilad Ritov, Gal Richter‐Levin · 1 Jan 2014

Often, freezing and startle behaviors in the context of a previously experienced stress are taken as an indication of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-like symptoms in rats. However, PTSD is characterized by large individual variations of symptoms. In order to take into consideration the complex and long term distinctive variations in effects of trauma exposure additional…
