| Keywords | stressful events stress hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis autonomic nervous system glucocorticoid signalling pathways |
| Areas of expertise | My research group investigates how the organism responds and adapts to stressful events. Major research interests are: · The mechanisms of regulatory control of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis at the brain and adrenal level, including the role of limbic/neocortical centres and the autonomic nervous system · The role of glucocorticoid hormones, the MAPK pathway and other signalling pathways in neuronal plasticity processes (e.g. chromatin remodelling, transcriptional activation) and behavioural adaptation · The mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of (voluntary) exercise on stress coping, HPA axis regulation, autonomic control, impulsivity and anxiety-related behaviour |
