The Handbook of Stress and the Brain focuses on the impact of
stressful events on the functioning of the central nervous system;
how stress affects molecular and cellular processes in the brain,
and in turn, how these brain processes determine our perception of
and reactivity to, stressful challenges - acutely and in the
long-run.
Written for a broad scientific audience, the Handbook
comprehensively reviews key principles and facts to provide a clear
overview of the interdisciplinary field of stress. The work aims to
bring together the disciplines of neurobiology, physiology,
immunology, psychology and psychiatry, to provide a reference
source for both the non-clinical and clinical expert, as well as
serving as an introductory text for novices in this field of
scientific inquiry.
Part 1 addresses basic aspects of the neurobiology of the stress
response including the involvement of neuropeptide, neuroendocrine
and neurotransmitter systems and its corollaries regarding gene
expression and behavioural processes such as cognition, motivation
and emotionality.
* Provides an overview of recent advances made in stress
research
* Includes timely discussion of stress and its effect on the immune
system
* Presents novel treatment strategies targeting brain processes
involved in stress processing and coping mechanisms

Part 2 treats the complexity of short-term and long-term regulation
of stress responsivity, the role of stress in psychiatric disorders
as based on both preclinical and clinical evidence, and the current
status with regard to new therapeutic strategies targetting
stress-related disorders.
