Abstract excerpt
A fundamental question in the neuroendocrinology of stress-related psychopathology is why some individuals flourish and others perish under similar adverse conditions. In this contribution we focus on the variants of mineralocorticorticoid (MR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) that operate in balance and coordinate behavioral, autonomic, and neuroendocrine response patterns involved in homeostasis and health. In...
