Deric Bownds - Neural mechanisms of stress vulnerability and resilience

I like this blogger, your doctor needs to understand how much stress you are under so you don't start elimination of dendritic spines in the hippocampus. Rather recovery from stress, correlates with spine proliferation. You better hope you aren't getting the nocebo effect from your doctor.
