Linking post-stress brain connectivity to acute cortisol reactivity using network-based inference and prediction

The paper investigates the relationship between post-stress brain connectivity and acute cortisol reactivity using network-based methods and finds reduced connectivity in a subcortical-cingulate network correlates with stronger cortisol responses.

Predicting stress response trajectories: Differential contributions of limbic and prefrontal regions to cortisol and affective responses

This study identifies distinct stress response trajectories in humans by analyzing brain region predictors of cortisol and affective responses to psychosocial stress.

Linking brain structure to stress reactivity: Cingulate surface area predicts acute cortisol responses

This study identifies cingulate cortex surface area as a predictor of acute cortisol responses to psychosocial stress, with the left cingulate cortex showing the strongest association.
