The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Improving Acute Stress Responses (2013, background): “…modulate activity (Ochsner, Bunge, Gross, & Gabrieli, 2002), and subsequent changes in the hippocampus and amygdala attenuate the release of corticotrophin-releasing hormone (which stimulates the synthesis of adrenal hormones such a cortisol; Dedovic, Duchesne, Andrews, Engert, & Pruessner, 2009).”
Are The Dorsal and Ventral Hippocampus functionally distinct structures? (2010, background): “Hippocampal lesions impair control of the hormonal stress response (Dedovic et al., 2009; Jacobson and Sapolsky, 1991).”
A Review of Adversity, The Amygdala and the Hippocampus: A Consideration of Developmental Timing (2009, positive): “The amygdala and the extended amygdala (the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis; Davis, 1994), appear to be critical in activating the HPA axis in response to cognitive-emotional challenge and threat (reviewed in Dedovic et al., 2009).”
Social functioning in major depressive disorder. (2016, positive): “…losing, high reactivity of the stress system, involving insula, amygdala and ACC, in response to fear of losing and social exclusion may explain competition avoidance in patients with depression (Dedovic et al., 2009; Eisenberger et al., 2011; Onoda et al., 2010; Waugh et al., 2012) (see Figure 1).”
