First sentence: Recent studies on the actions of various stressful stimuli have provided two basic conclusions: 1. Different stressors may elicit different stress responses, and 2. different stressors may act on different brain areas, and stressful stimuli may reach these areas through different neuronal pathways (Pacak et al., 1998).
