Influence of the stress hormone cortisol on fear conditioning in humans: Evidence for sex differences in the response of the prefrontal cortex
2006
NeuroImage
In sum, these findings demonstrate that in humans cortisol mostly influences prefrontal brain activation during fear conditioning and that these effects appear to be modulated by sex. ...
The stress hormone cortisol is known to influence declarative memory and associative learning. ...
Discussion The present study was designed to examine the neural correlates of the influence of the stress hormone cortisol on fear conditioning. ...

Effects of stress hormones on the structure and function of the human brain
2006
Expert Review of Endocrinology & Metabolism
In response to stress, the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis is activated and glucocorticoids are secreted. These hormones exert multiple effects in the periphery as well as the brain. ...
In parallel, structural alterations are observed in the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex. However, it seems that plasticity/reversibility is more common than previously thought. ...

Stress Prompts Habit Behavior in Humans
2009
Journal of Neuroscience
These results demonstrate for the first time that stress promotes habits at the expense of goal-directed performance in humans. ...
Based on previous findings showing that stress modulates the interaction of "cognitive" and "habit" memory systems, we asked in the presented study whether stress may coordinate goal-directed and habit ...
Converging lines of evidence show that stress and the glucocorticoid stress hormones (mainly cortisol in humans) released from the adrenal cortex can operate as a switch between "cognitive" and "habit" ...

Acute stress impairs the retrieval of extinction memory in humans
2014
Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
The efficacy of our stress induction was established by observing significant increases in cortisol for the stress condition only. ...
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which plays a critical role in the expression of extinction memory, has been shown to be functionally impaired after stress exposure. ...
Our results are unique in that they investigate the effect of stress on extinction retrieval in healthy humans within the context of cued classical fear conditioning, providing a viable model for the return ...
