First sentence: Neuronal pathways involved in stress responses may be divided into two major groups: 1) Short loop reflexes, and 2) long loop pathways with ascending afferents carrying stress signals to hypothalamic, limbic and cortical areas, from where descending efferents run to the median eminence, as well as to medullary and spinal cord preganglionic efferents.
