Stress Resilience: Molecular and Behavioral Aspects presents the first reference available on the full-breadth of cutting-edge research being carried out in this field. It includes a wide range of basic molecular knowledge on the potential associations between resilience phenomenon and biochemical balance, but also focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying stress resilience. World-renowned experts provide chapters that cover everything from the neural circuits of resilience, the effects of early-life adversity, and the transgenerational inheritance of resilience.

This unique and timely book will be a go-to resource for neuroscientists and biological psychiatrists who want to improve their understanding of the consequences of stress and on how some people are able to avoid it.

Key Features

Approaches resilience as a process rather than as a static trait
Provides basic molecular knowledge on the potential associations between resilience phenomenon and biochemical balance
Presents thorough coverage of both the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to resilience

Title Reviews

"Hans Selye, in his seminal 1936 note to Nature, introduced the “general adaptation syndrome¿. That is, the ability of the organism to adapt itself to new conditions: the basis for our understanding of stress resilience. Alon Chen (Editor), a brilliant stress neuroscientist, has recruited top experts to submit 22 chapters that make this book a valuable, cutting edge contribution to stress resilience. I strongly commend “Stress Resilience¿ for fundamental and clinical research scientists as well as students and clinicians, especially in the fields of Neuroscience and molecular neurobiology and genetics, Neurology, Medicine, Endocrinology, Psychiatry, Psychology and related disciplines."— George Fink (MD, DPhil, FRCPE, FRSB, FRSE) Professorial Research Fellow, the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
