Neurobiology of stress and resilience: Mechanisms and coping strategies from a Human Neuroscience perspective, Volume II

The experience of stress is an inevitable part of human life, affecting individuals physically, emotionally, and psychologically. From brief tension-filled moments to chronic stress exposure, the resulting impact on the human brain is profound, influencing neural circuits and even altering brain function. Despite its potential detriments, stress also presents an opportunity for resilience—an adaptive response enabling individuals to maintain mental health despite adversity. This area of research is crucial for advancing our understanding of how resilience is cultivated and how stress can be managed effectively to prevent stress-related disorders. The field of human neuroscience offers valuable insights into the underlying biological mechanisms that govern stress responses and resilience building.This Research Topic aims to explore the intricate neurobiological mechanisms that shape the human response to stress and the development of resilience. By delving into the latest scientific advancements, we aim to address key questions about how stress affects brain processes and how resilience can be fostered. Recognizing the importance of both genetic and environmental factors, this topic will highlight how these elements interact to influence individual differences in stress responses. The ultimate goal is to uncover novel coping strategies and therapeutic interventions that enhance resilience, minimize the adverse effects of stress, and promote mental well-being.This Research Topic invites submissions that focus on various aspects of stress and resilience, including but not limited to:• Neural pathways and mechanisms involved in stress response and resilience.• The role of neurotransmitters and hormones in mediating stress and promoting resilience.• Genetic and epigenetic influences on individual stress sensitivity and resilience.• Psychological and behavioral strategies to enhance resilience and manage stress.• Cross-cultural studies of stress resilience and coping mechanisms.• The application of neuroimaging techniques to study stress and resilience.• Authors are encouraged to submit original research articles, reviews, and theoretical perspectives that align with these themes to advance our knowledge in this vital area of human neuroscience.
