Detailed explanation-1: -Chronic stress causes remodeling of dendrites and synaptic connections in many brain regions, including not only hippocampus but also amygdala and medial prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex (top panel). Effects of acute and chronic stress operate in space and time in an inverted U-shaped manner (bottom panel).
Detailed explanation-2: -The amygdala is specialized for input and processing of emotion, while the hippocampus is essential for declarative or episodic memory. During emotional reactions, these two brain regions interact to translate the emotion into particular outcomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The prefrontal cortex and amygdala work together in response to stress. While the amygdala detects stress, the prefrontal cortex justifies the reaction to that stress. The relationship between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala is crucial for stress response, emotion regulation and memory formation.
