Potential biomarkers of emotional stress induced neurodegeneration
2020, eNeurologicalSciObstructive sleep apnea and neurocognitive performance: The role of cortisol
2014, Sleep MedicineCitation Excerpt :Plihal and Born [48] experimentally manipulated cortisol levels during sleep and showed that elevated cortisol levels impaired declarative memory after only one single night. Given the evidence linking long-term elevated cortisol levels to atrophy in hippocampi and cerebral cortex, the examination of resting or nighttime cortisol levels on cognition is particularly informative [49–51]. The negative impact of cortisol on cognitive performance has been linked to elevated nightly nadir levels of this hormone [52].
Altered brain function underlying verbal memory encoding and retrieval in psychotic major depression
2013, Psychiatry Research - NeuroimagingCitation Excerpt :Nosological data have emerged since the early 1980s suggesting PMD and non-psychotic major depression (NPMD) are, indeed, separate subtypes of depression (Keller et al., 2007). PMD is associated with greater duration and severity of symptoms compared to NPMD (Nelson and Charney, 1981; Rothschild et al., 1989; Fleming et al., 2004; Keller et al., 2006; Maj et al., 2007). Additionally, individuals with PMD show greater cognitive deficits in verbal memory, attention and executive functioning compared to NPMD (Basso and Bornstein, 1999; Schatzberg et al., 2000; Fleming et al., 2004; Gomez et al., 2006).
Stress and neurodevelopmental processes in the emergence of psychosis
2013, NeuroscienceThe validity of the severity-psychosis hypothesis in depression
2012, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :This suggestion is based on a large body of literature, which documents important differences between patients with PD and non-PD. These differences include a more overactive hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis (Holsboer, 2000; Nelson and Davis, 1997; Rothschild et al., 1989; Schatzberg and Rothschild, 1988; Schatzberg et al., 1983) and decreased levels of plasma dopamine-β-hydroxylase (Meltzer et al., 1976; Meyers et al., 1999) in patients with PD compared to non-PD. The symptom-profile of PD is different from that of non-PD, beyond the mere psychosis, with higher prevalence of agitation, rumination, perplexity and cognitive dysfunction (Fleming et al., 2004; Hill et al., 2004; Maj et al., 2007).
