Cognitive perception of social stress as a critical mechanistic control of mood and mood-related brain signals

Jörntell, Henrik LU (2025) In The Behavioral and brain sciences 48. p.171-171
Abstract

The paper of Dunbar (2025) on social stress is a strong demonstration that stress in itself can have a purely cognitive origin. The paper shows that the cognitive system can have profound impacts on the hypothalamus. As detailed in my commentary, this opens up new avenues of how to interpret psychiatric conditions, placebo, and other associations between perceptions and vegetative functions in the brain.
