Stress has a major impact on mental health. Recent work is unraveling the molecular mechanisms –including genetic factors- that either predispose for vulnerability to stress or that translate stress effects into neurobiological alterations.
The goal of this Symposium is to address these questions by revising emerging concepts in the field of psychiatric neuroscience and genetics (gene x environment interactions; early life experiences; epigenetic influences) as well as to the main methodologies in the field (genome wide and epigenetic analyses; mutant mice; other genetic manipulations). The Symposium includes a widespread overview of neurotransmitter, neuropeptides, and steroid hormone receptors that play a key interplay in mediating stress effects into neural and behavioral alterations.
