Does mild to moderate stress induced by a mental arithmetic task alter cerebral blood flow in humans?
Psychological stress induces cerebral blood flow changes in the ventral right prefrontal cortex, providing neuroimaging evidence for its role in the central stress response.
Rao et al. (2005) studied this question.
