2 3 Do you think stress is a good or a bad thing? Why? 4 2
3 5 STRESS Stress: A response to any demand Eustress Distress GENERALIZED ADAPTATION SYSTEM 6 Sympathetic Nervous System Adrenal Cortex - Cortisol 3
4 7 AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM Rapid Response System Important in more acute stressors Results in activation of Sympathetic Nervous System 8 AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM 4
5 9 AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM 10 HPA AXIS HPA Axis (hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal) Slower to respond Important in chronic stress Activation of hypothalamus causes release of ACTH from pituitary and release of cortisol from adrenal ACTH = Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) Cortisol mobilizes resources but can be harmful if prolonged exposure 5
6 11 HPA AXIS Stress Activation in the Body 12 SECRETION OF THE ADRENAL HORMONE CORTISOL ELEVATES BLOOD SUGAR AND INCREASES METABOLISM. HELPS THE BODY SUSTAIN PROLONGED ACTIVITY - BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF DECREASED IMMUNE SYSTEM ACTIVITY. 6
7 13 Stress > increased glucocorticoids é blood to brain More energy for neurons Feedback loop if high levels of cortisol, tells brain to not release more HORMONE SECRETION DURING STRESS Adrenal glands release Epinephrine: biases energy flow to muscles, blood flow from heart, and increases blood pressure Norepinephrine: is released in brain during stress to focus attention Glucocorticoids: break down protein and fats to glucose, increase blood flow, and stimulate behavioral responsiveness 14 7

9 Does short-term stress enhance or impair memory? 9
10 10/28/12 19 Release of Glucocorticoids Mobilize glucose to blood stream Stimulates Long Term Potentiation (LTP) - better memory formation Energy available to neurons SHORT TERM STRESS EFFECTS ON 20 CONSOLIDATION AND RETRIEVAL During stress: glucocorticoids activate the amygdala, turns on the hippocampus, switching the brain into a consolidation state (favoring quick learning about the stressful event) 10
11 21 LONG TERM STRESS Can stress damage the brain? 22 CUSHING S SYNDROME Tumors that result in secretion of glucocorticoids Cushingoid dementia: explicit memory problems So glucorcorticoids over the long term may lead to memory problems May be other side effect of the disease? People treated with glucocorticoids to treat inflammatory diseases also have explicit memory problems 11
12 10/28/12 23 STRESS CAN CAUSE BRAIN DAMAGE Sapolsky: Stress causes hippocampal damage Mediated by cortisol Jensen (1982): Tortured people have hippocampal damage 24 Healthy - spiny neurons Neurons after sustained stress Sapolsky,
13 WHY ARE THE DIFFERENT EFFECTS FOR SHORT AND LONG-TERM STRESS? 25 Two hippocampal glucocorticoid receptors: MR = high affinity receptor, activated with low glucocorticoid levels GR = low affinity receptor, activated with high glucocorticoid levels Sapolsky, OUTLINE Neurophysiology of stress Coping with stress Psychoneuroimmunology PTSD 13
14 27 THE IMMUNE SYSTEM White blood cells = leukocytes B cells (bone marrow): secrete antibodies which attach to antigens T cells (thymus gland): attack intruders directly or help to grow more T cells or B cells Natural killer cells: attack tumor cells, and cells infected by viruses If infection leukocytes produce cytokines combat infection 28 STRESS AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM Stress causes endorphin release Stress causes Imunosuppression Heroin addicts are more likely to get diseases 14
15 PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY Stress à nervous system increases immune system Increase natural killer cells Increase cytokine secretion Creates a feeling of illness Three Mile Island nuclear power plant People continued to live there Lower levels B cells and T cells Bereavement causes suppression of the immune system Alzheimer's care givers have suppressed immune systems 29 COPING WITH STRESS PREDICTION AND CONTROL JAY WEISS 30 Control No Control No Shock 15
16 MIND/BODY CONNECTION: JAY WEISS 31 Measured stomach ulcers Group A: Control of shock Group B: No control of shock Group C: No shock Control and prediction can reduce stress PSYCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY A MIND-BODY CONNECTION 32 Brain controls the immune system New discovery Once thought to be independent Holding husband s hand reduced the brain s response to electric shock 16
17 33 OUTLINE Neurophysiology of stress Short and Long Term Stress Psychoneuroimmunology Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) PTSD What are the symptoms of PTSD? What brain areas do you think are involved? 34 17

19 NOREPINEPHRINE RESPONSE TO STRESS PTSD - ORIGINS NE release during the traumatic event event Those with greatest stress response aren t those that are most likely to get PTSD Yohimbine blocks NE α 2 autoreceptor Increased NE Induces symptoms in PTSD patients 19
20 39 PTSD AND CORTISOL People with PTSD are more likely to have low cortisol immediately after trauma and weeks later Low cortisol = ill equipped to battle stress? More vulnerable to damaging effects of stress. 20
