Chronic stressors in the form of social stressors, physical stressors, the combination of both social and physical stressors, and the administration of the stress hormone corticosterone have a variety of effects on various measures of animal performance.

Accumulating evidence from clinical studies and pre-clinical animal models supports a role for neuropeptide Y (NPY) in adaptive emotional response following stress. The long-term impact of stress, particularly chronic stress, on availability, and function of resilience factors such as NPY may be critical to understanding the etiology of stress-related psychopathology. In these studies, we examined expression of NPY during recovery from a chronic variable stress (CVS) model of repetitive trauma ...
