This textbook provides an introduction to the interdisciplinary
study of stress, helping students and professionals understand the
main neurobiological and psychological causes and consequences of
stress in human beings. It's aimed at understanding the concept of
stress at different levels, from the impact of environmental
stressors to its processing in the brain, and from the neural
mechanisms involved in this processing to the expression of
different adaptive responses. All these neural mechanisms are
clearly explained according to different levels of complexity, from
the neurobiological level, including the cellular and molecular
mechanisms, to the psychological level, including the cognitive and
emotional processing, and behavioral expressions. The whole content
is described in a very comprehensive manner, accompanied with
descriptive graphics to clearly illustrate every detail, therefore
allowing a full integration of all the covered concepts. In
addition, clinical expressions of stress, such as mood and anxiety
disorders, are also covered in detail, including an overview of
different factors of vulnerability and resilience, therefore
providing a unique and fundamental insight of this
interdisciplinary field. Given its interdisciplinary approach,
Neuroscience of Stress: From Neurobiology to Cognitive, Emotional
and Behavioral Sciences will provide a comprehensive and clear
introduction to the study of stress to students and professionals
from different fields of the behavioral and health sciences. It
will serve as a valuable text for adoption in classes of a wide
range of graduate courses dealing with mental health and
well-being, in areas such as health and clinical psychology, health
promotion and disease prevention, psychiatry and behavioral
medicine, among others.
