Variations in the predictability of a stressor have pronounced effects on the behavioural and
physiological effects of stress in rats. It is reasonable to expect that variations in the …

studies investigating the effects of acute GC treatment on memory have reported conflicting …

One of the conundrums in today's stress research is why some individuals flourish and
