The UNSTRESSED brain has tight control of thoughts, emotions and actions.

The STRESSED has weaker control of thoughts, emotions and actions.

Why?

The Prefrontal Cortex serves as a "brake" that can slow down and regulate thoughts, emotions and actions. The prefrontal cortex is highly susceptible to chronic stress exposure.

Over time, stress can "release the brake" and allow the Amygdala to override the Prefrontal Cortex, rendering the Prefrontal Cortex weaker and in less control.

4 ways exercise serves as medicine:

1. Cathepsin B is a contraction-induced myokine that improves memory function.

2. Osteocalcin is released from bone during exercise to signal to skeletal muscle to release IL-6, 
which in turn regulates metabolic homeostasis.

3. Exercise can reduce tumour growth in a variety of cancers in mice by mobilizing and redistributing natural killer cells.

4. Exercise prevents the loss of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the retina after injury to preserve neuronal function.

Childhood maltreatment represents a form of trauma capable of altering fundamental neurobiological properties and negatively impacting neurodevelopmental processes. It may also increase the risk of developing psychopathology and psychiatric disorders.

In a Review, Mariesa Cay and colleagues offer a biobehavioural framework, validated tools, and experimental methods that could lead to a better understanding of the interactions between childhood maltreatment, psychopathology, and pain.
