The human response to threat requires comprehensive change in the network properties of the brain, with the whole organ affected. Alan Carson, JNNP associate editor, asks Guillén Fernández, director of the Donders Center for Neuroscience, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, about his work investigating the effects of stressors on brain structure and function.
