BS2.09 – 02 The stress neuromatrix in the brain

  • The stress neuromatrix in the brain
  • How stress affects the brain and the prefrontal cortex
  • How stress amplifies pain and makes it a more ingrained problem in the brain and results in increased systemic inflammation levels
  • How the brain changes due to traumatic experiences so only minor ‘non-threatening’ stimuli, if they remind us of the previous trauma, can from then on activate the stress matrix in the brain
