Abstract:
Stress is a kind of coping mechanism of human and most animals in the face of external survival pressure, which can regulate an individual's physiological, psychological function and behavior. Some studies have shown that there are differences in stress response and cognition of different stress intensity on individuals. In addition, for different individuals, the stress response caused by the same stress source is also varied, which is related to the changes in neurotransmitter and hormone levels, as well as difference in the activation patterns of downstream signa-to individual genetic difference and other factors. In this paper, the cognitive changes from different stress states are summarized from the aspects of neurotransmitters, hormones and their downstream mechanisms, so as to provide ideas for the reasonable application of stress and the prevention and treatment of stress-related diseases.
