Prefrontal cortex executive processes affected by stress in health and disease

M. Girotti, S. M. Adler, et al.

Prefrontal cortical executive functions—working memory, attention, response inhibition, and cognitive flexibility—are essential for goal-directed behavior yet vulnerable to stress. This review surveys how stress disrupts these cognitive processes and underlying neurochemical pathways, and examines pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to restore function. Research was conducted by the authors: Milena Girotti, Samantha M. Adler, Sarah E. Bulin, Elizabeth A. Fucich, Denisse Paredes, and David A. Morilak.
