“PART 2: What, me stress? Why it’s good, how it can be bad, and what to do about it”
Professor Karatsoreos will continue his talk presenting an overview of the physiology and neurobiology of stress, with special emphasis on why stress is an important process that enables adaptation to environmental demands, and not merely a physiological response that leads to deleterious outcomes. He will also present data from mouse studies in his lab that show how disrupting normal stress responses can lead to divergent neurobehavioral outcomes. He will spend some time discussing the negative aspects of a dysregulated stress response, and some useful strategies to combat these negative effects.
