Wear and Tear of Stress: The Psychoneurobiology of Aging

Age may be more related to reactions to stress and the absence of disease rather than to a person’s chronological age, say leading researchers in the fields of neurobiology// and psychoneuroendocrinology. And healthy aging is a good bet if stress can be moderated along with adopting an ...
