Using Stress-Based Animal Models to Understand the Mechanisms Underlying Psychiatric and Somatic Disorders
Chronic or repeated stress, particularly psychosocial stress, is an acknowledged risk factor for numerous affective and somatic disorders in modern societies. Thus, there is substantial evidence showing that chronic stress can increase the likelihood of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders, as well as cardiovascular diseases, irritable bowel syndrome and pain syndromes, to name but a few, in vulnerable individuals. Although a number of pharmacological agents are available to treat such stress-related disorders, many patients do not respond to them, and those who do often report a number of side effects. Therefore, a major emphasis in modern basic research is to uncover the underly...
Stress, Neurotransmitters, and Hormones
The most relevant and recent stress-related discoveries are presented in this volume, including functional anatomy, molecular genetics, developmental aspects, neural-endocrine-immune interactions, molecular imaging, and clinical aspects of stress-related disorders. Chapters by distinguished international basic and clinical scientists in the field of stress and neurotransmitters offer new insights into stress, stress-related disorders, and their future stressor-specific treatment. This volume encompasses a number of themes in several sections: (1) functional neuroanatomy of stress response; (2) brain monoamines and neuropeptides in stress; (3) molecular genetics of neurotransmitter enzymes in...
Clinical Relevance of the Immune-to-Brain and Brain-to-Immune Communications
Experimental and clinical evidence demonstrates an intense crosstalk among the nervous, endocrine and immune systems. The central nervous system (CNS) not only has the capacity to affect peripheral immune function, but is also able to sense and process signals from the peripheral immune system. The bi-directional interaction between the CNS and the peripheral immune system has gained great interest as it can help better understand disease pathophysiology as well as improving health and treatment outcomes in patients. On the one hand, inflammatory factors are known to affect CNS functions and to induce neuropsychiatric symptoms, making immune-to-brain communication highly relevant for psychiatric diseases and their treatments. On the other hand, analyzing pathways of brain-to-immune communication will help to understand the pathophysiology of chronic inflammatory disorders and will form the basis for optimizing treatment of these diseases.
Sweet Distress
Cutting its way through the media frenzy, Sweet Distress: How our love affair with feelings has fuelled the current mental health crisis (and what we can do about it) puts emotional wellbeing and resilience centre stage. Using an approach rooted in no-nonsense logic, author and psycholinguistic consultant Gillian Bridge delves into a range of problems which seem to be most frequently cited as sources of mental distress. These include stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, body image, eating disorders, social media, substance abuse, behavioural disorders, academic pressures and bullying. The author explores how these issues have led to seemingly insurmountable emotional problems and takes a...
Resilienz im Horizont menschlichen Handelns
Der Resilienzbegriff hat in ganz unterschiedlichen Handlungsfeldern Einzug gehalten. Dazu gehören Medizin, Psychologie, Pädagogik, Theologie oder Philosophie genauso wie Ingenieurs- oder Umweltwissenschaften, die Politik oder Security Studies. Entsprechend vielschichtig wird der Resilienzbegriff verwendet. Stets jedoch geht es darum, angesichts von Krisen oder Gefährdungsszenarien Widerstandspotenziale zu identifizieren und zu konzeptualisieren. Der vorliegende Band thematisiert unterschiedliche wissenschaftliche Zugänge zum Umgang mit Krisenerfahrungen und reflektiert ausgewählte Aspekte und Perspektiven von und auf Resilienz. Somit vertieft er den Resilienzdiskurs und entwickelt kritisch-konstruktiv einen handlungsorientierten Resilienzbegriff, der diesen in seiner praktischen Bedeutung erschließt.
Life Indoors
In this timely and expansive book, Wakefield-Rann investigates how emerging disease ecologies are undermining definitions of health and immunity that have persisted since the 19th century, and had a formative influence over the design of not only homes, but entire cities. This wide-ranging account traces the links between the history of medicine, modernist design and architecture, the rise of inflammatory disease, the microbiomes of buildings and humans, antimicrobial resistance, and novel chemical pollutants, to show how indoor environments have made us as we have made them. In highlighting the processes that have been missed in designing perfectly controlled interior habitats, Life Indoors shows the limitations of dominant practices, classifications and philosophies to apprehend current indoor pathogen ecologies.
Losing Eden

Losing Eden rigorously and convincingly tells of the value of the natural universe to our human hearts' Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun Today many of us live indoor lives, disconnected from the natural world as never before. And yet nature remains deeply ingrained in our language, culture and c...
