Overview

Supports neuroimaging research on prefrontal stress responses; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change clinical practice.

Structured PICO

Does mild to moderate stress induced by a mental arithmetic task alter cerebral blood flow in humans?

P
Population
Humans
I
Intervention
Mild to moderate stress induced by a mental arithmetic task with performance monitoring
C
Comparator
Baseline state
O
Outcome
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes measured by arterial spin-labeling perfusion MRIsurrogate

Psychological stress induces cerebral blood flow changes in the ventral right prefrontal cortex, providing neuroimaging evidence for its role in the central stress response.
