Salimetrics Expands Salivary Cytokine Testing Service for Fast, Easy Salivary Biomarker Analysis
October 16, 2019(October 16, 2019) Salimetrics brings better methods to salivary cytokine research with the addition of IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-10, IL-12p70, and IL-13 to its testing service. Researchers can add any or all of these cytokines to the popular, core Salimetrics’ Salivary Cytokine Panel (IL-1 Beta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-Alpha), all tested using the same sample with [...]
Cognitive Reappraisal of Negative emotions may be related to salivary E2 and DLFPC Activity
October 7, 2019A 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
September 20, 2019Childhood 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 […]

Prefrontal Cortex and Amygdala Activity Lead to Differing Individual Psychosocial Stress Emotional Responses
April 26, 2019Amygdala and prefrontal cortex activity varies with individual differences in the emotional response to psychosocial stress. Author: Orem TR, et al. (2019), Behav Neurosci. ABSTRACT Stress elicits a variety of psychophysiological responses that show large interindividual variability. Determining the neural mechanisms that mediate individual differences in the emotional response to stress would provide new insight […]
