Child Maltreatment Impacts Diurnal Cortisol
Child Maltreatment and Mother-Child Transmission of Stress Physiology Author: Hibel LC, et al. (2019), Child Maltreatment. ABSTRACT: Background Advancing understanding of the developmental origins of neuroendocrine-immune (NEI) functioning is key to elucidating the biological mechanisms involved in health and disease risk across the lifespan. This study examined whether prenatal maternal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activity moderates child […]
Prenatal Maternal HPA Activity May Moderate NEI Functioning in Young Children
Long-Term Associations Between Prenatal Maternal Cortisol and Child Neuroendocrine-Immune Regulation Author: Riis J, et al. (2019), International Journal of Behavioral Medicine. ABSTRACT: Background Advancing understanding of the developmental origins of neuroendocrine-immune (NEI) functioning is key to elucidating the biological mechanisms involved in health and disease risk across the lifespan. This study examined whether prenatal maternal […]
Salimetrics Releases New Salivary Osteocalcin Test to Support Interdisciplinary Research
(November 7, 2019) A new Salimetrics' SalivaLab test is now available for investigators to expand discovery in Salivary Bioscience. Osteocalcin (OCN, OC), also known as Bone Gamma-Carboxyglutamic Acid-Containing Protein (BGLAP), is a novel biomarker that researchers have linked to stress, sports performance, metabolic regulation, brain development, cognition, and periodontitis. Today, Salimetrics' SalivaLab released a Salivary [...]

Cognitive Reappraisal of Negative emotions may be related to salivary E2 and DLFPC Activity
A preliminary study of association between adolescent estradiol level and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activity during emotion regulation Author: Chung Y, et al. (2019), Psychoneuroendocrinology. ABSTRACT: Non-human primate models have been useful in clarifying estradiol’s role in cognitive processing. These animal studies indicate estradiol impacts cognitive processes supported by regions within dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Although […]

Physical and Emotional Abuse has Indirect Effects on Cortisol Reactivity
Childhood abuse predicts affective symptoms via HPA reactivity during mother-infant stress Author: Kern S & Laurent HK. (2019), Psychoneuroendocrinology. ABSTRACT: Despite extensive literature positing the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as a mechanism in the association between early childhood maltreatment and later adult psychopathology, empirical support for this full pathway is lacking. We tested indirect effects of […]
