Abstract

Stress and stress related disorders are a major cause of morbidity and mortality and understanding stress mechanisms is of great importance for devising appropriate therapeutic measures in such situations. The brain and its complex neurotransmitter systems regulate physiological and behavioral responses to a variety of stressors. Several other factors like age, gender and emotionality of the organism, as well as type, intensity and duration of the stressor may decide the nature and extent of stress effects. Nitric oxide (NO) is widely distributed in the brain and its role in Central nervous system (CNS) pathophysiology has been suggested. Recent studies have shown that free radicals and in particular NO may play a crucial role in the regulation of stress effects. All the various factors, mentioned above, that might influence stress responsiveness have been discussed with reference to regulatory role of NO during stress and it appears that NO may act as a therapeutic target for development of novel strategies against stress related disorders.

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.
