Stress, The Aging Brain, And The Mechanisms Of Neuron Death

Looking beyond the relationships between stress and physical illness, this book suggests that stress and stress-related hormones can also endanger the brain. Strategies to reduce stress and methods to protect neurons from further damage are proposed, and the relevance for humans of the animal research findings are clearly delineated.
