This journal publishes research on the neurobiological underpinnings of stress responses, with a particular focus on early life adversity and its long-term consequences. Studies investigate the impact of stress on various physiological systems, including the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, immune system, and neuroendocrine pathways. The journal also explores sex differences in stress responses, the role of hormones, and the effects of environmental factors and interventions on stress-related behaviors and disorders.
