Putting a finger on the problem: Finger stick blood draw and immunization at the well-child exam elicit a cortisol response to stress among one-year-old children
Blood draws and immunizations are naturalistic, mild pain stressors that have been used extensively to quantify stress reactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis via elevations in circulating cortisol. Up through six months of age, these stressors reliably provoke an HPA response. Their impact reduces after six months, however, such that by one year of age there is scant evidence that either stressor elicits an HPA response (Gunnar et al., 2009; Jansen et al., 2010). A dearth of paradigms that reliably evoke a cortisol response during the period of late infancy and early childhood poses a problem fo...

Estradiol moderates the relationship between state-trait anxiety and attentional bias to threat in women
Considerable evidence suggests that many features of anxiety disorders are sexually dimorphic, with the prevalence, severity, and chronicity of anxiety being greater in females relative to males (Li and Graham, 2017). Sociocultural factors undoubtedly contribute to these dimorphisms (McLean and Anderson, 2009), although fluctuations in sex hormones also appear to impact anxious symptoms in women. For example, women ’s risk for anxiety increases during puberty (Paus et al., 2008), post-partum (Ross and McLean, 2006), and peri-menopause (Bromberger et al., 2013).
