【 摘 要 】

Animal research over many decades has established that stress and stress hormones have a profound influence on the brain, primarily on the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex (PFC) (Chattarji et al., 2015). This topic in human populations has increasingly been the focus of more research over the past 20 years (Qin et al., 2009; Schwabe and Wolf, 2010; Weymar et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2014). In this Research Topic of Frontiers in Psychology, a host of new empirical findings on the relationship between stress and cognition in humans are presented via studies employing multidisciplinary methods, including behavioral testing, event-related potentials (ERPs), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
