Acute stress does not modulate selective attention in a composite letter task
Stress. 2024 Jan;27(1):2330704. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2024.2330704. Epub 2024 Mar 25.ABSTRACTAcute stress has been demonstrated to affect a diverse array of attentional processes, one of which is selective attention. Selective attention refers to the cognitive process of deliberately allocating attentional resources to a specific stimulus, while ignoring other, distracting stimuli. While catecholamines have been shown to narrow attention, investigations on the influence of the stress hormone cortisol have yielded ambiguous results. We conducted two separate studies utilizing different laboratory stress induction paradigms ...

Exposure to prenatal stressors and infant autonomic nervous system regulation of stress
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest potential alterations in development of the vagally mediated baroreflex function as a result of exposure to prenatal stressors, with implications for the infants' ability to generate a resilient recovery in response to stressors.PMID:38497496 | DOI:10.1080/10253890.2024.2327328 (Source: Stress)

Multi-omics in stress and health research: study designs that will drive the field forward
Stress. 2024 Jan;27(1):2321610. doi: 10.1080/10253890.2024.2321610. Epub 2024 Feb 29.ABSTRACTDespite decades of stress research, there still exist substantial gaps in our understanding of how social, environmental, and biological factors interact and combine with developmental stressor exposures, cognitive appraisals of stressors, and psychosocial coping processes to shape individuals' stress reactivity, health, and disease risk. Relatively new biological profiling approaches, called multi-omics, are helping address these issues by enabling researchers to quantify thousands of molecules from a single blood or tissue sample...
