The molecular neurobiology of depression (2008, positive): “Excess glucocorticoids, through the activation of glucocorticoid receptors, can reduce SGZ proliferation rates and produce atrophic changes in hippocampal subregion”
Cognitive Impairment by Antibiotic-Induced Gut Dysbiosis: Analysis of Gut Microbiota-Brain Communication (2016, background): “In addition, the hypothalamus was included in view of the established impact of the gut microbiota on HPA axis activity (Sudo et al., 2004) and the role of corticosteroids in cognitive function (McEwen, 2007).”
Central effects of stress hormones in health and disease: Understanding the protective and damaging effects of stress and stress mediators. (2008, background): “Sleep deprivation produces an allostatic overload that can have deleterious consequences (McEwen, 2006, 2007).”
Differential susceptibility to the environment: An evolutionary–neurodevelopmental theory (2011, neutral): “…the research of several investigators, including Boyce (Alkon et al., 2006; Boyce et al., 1995, 2001; Boyce & Ellis, 2005; Obradovic et al., 2010); McEwen (2007); Kagan, Reznick, and Snidman (1988); Gunnar (Gunnar & Quevedo, 2007; Lupien, McEwen, Gunnar, & Heim, 2009); and their colleagues,…”
Effects of yoga on the autonomic nervous system, gamma-aminobutyric-acid, and allostasis in epilepsy, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. (2012, background): “Within the hippocampus the presence of high concentrations of both mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors is indicative of its role in stress experience and threat perception [1].”
Stress and memory retrieval: mechanisms and consequences (2017, result): “Three interacting and partially overlapping stress response signals must thus be considered: (1) The initial arousal response mediated by NA and CRH, (2) the slightly delayed non-genomic GC signal with mostly excitatory properties, which occurs in interaction with the initial NA signal, and (3) the ”
Assessing salivary cortisol in large-scale, epidemiological research. (2009, positive): “, depression (Herbert et al., 2006; McEwen, 2007; Belmaker and Agam, 2008), risk for cardiovascular disease (Smith et al., 2005) and cognitive decline (Seeman et al., 1997).”
Rethinking IL-6 and CRP: Why they are more than inflammatory biomarkers, and why it matters. (2018, positive): “The evidence indicates that chronic stress can lead to either upregulation or downregulation of HPA responsivity; in the former case, cortisol becomes chronically elevated, whereas in the latter cortisol levels become flat and unresponsive to stressors (McEwen, 2007, 2012).”
Cortisol awakening response and psychosocial factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2009, positive): “…separately as separate studies; (4) we included studies evaluating certain mental health problems such as depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and chronic fatigue syndrome, since these conditions are thought to be related to HPA axis dysregulation (McEwen, 2007).”
Depression: An Evolutionarily Conserved Mechanism to Terminate Separation Distress? A Review of Aminergic, Peptidergic, and Neural Network Perspectives (2009, background): “The relationships between these various players are nonlinear and complex (McEwen, 2007), and even an apparently “simple” stressor (such as sleep deprivation) is capable of significantly altering all of these processes.”
