Summary:

"The chapters in this book aim to highlight current knowledge of the organisation and physiology of these stress response systems, how the impact of dysregulation of these systems is being investigated, and to consider ways in which contributions to both psychiatric and physical diseases as a result of chronic stress effects on HPA axis function, in particular, can be critically addressed in basic research"--Provided by publisher.
