🧠 What Stress Does to Your Brain: A Review of Neuroimaging Studies 🌪️

Researchers reviewed recent neuroimaging studies to understand how psychological stress affects our brain. They looked at different experimental tasks used to induce stress and summarized the findings.

  • Only tasks like serial subtraction and the Montreal Imaging Stress Task (MIST) were able to consistently create a stress response in participants, measured by the release of cortisol.

  • Stress was found to decrease activity in the orbitofrontal regions of the brain, while increasing activity in the frontal lobes, particularly the anterior cingulate cortex.

  • The limbic system, specifically the hippocampus, was found to deactivate during stress.

Study shows that certain parts of our brain are involved in perceiving and dealing with stress. More studies are needed to design tasks that consistently induce a stress response. So, next time you feel stressed, remember that your brain is going through some changes too! 🧠💪
