Request a sales quoteStress Resilience: Molecular and Behavioral Aspects presents the first reference available on the full-breadth of cutting-edge research being carried out in this field. It includes a wide range of basic molecular knowledge on the potential associations between resilience phenomenon and biochemical balance, but also focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying stress resilience. World-renowned experts provide chapters that cover everything from the neural circuits of resilience, the effects of early-life adversity, and the transgenerational inheritance of resilience.
This unique and timely book will be a go-to resource for neuroscientists and biological psychiatrists who want to improve their understanding of the consequences of stress and on how some people are able to avoid it.
- Approaches resilience as a process rather than as a static trait
- Provides basic molecular knowledge on the potential associations between resilience phenomenon and biochemical balance
- Presents thorough coverage of both the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to resilience

Alon Chen
Prof. Alon Chen is a world leading neuroscientist and the 11th President of the Weizmann Institute of Science. Prof. Chen's research into the neurobiology and neuroendocrinology of stress focuses on the genomic, epigenomic and cellular mechanisms by which the brain regulates the response to stressful challenges and how this response may be linked to a number of psychiatric and physiological disorders. The long-term goal of his research is to elucidate the genetic, epigenetic, and cellular pathways and mechanisms by which stressors are perceived, processed, and converted into neuroendocrine and behavioral responses under healthy and pathological conditions.
His lab has made significant discoveries in the field, revealing fundamental genetic, epigenetic, and cellular aspects of the stress response in both animals and humans, including actions that link specific stress-related genes, epigenetic mechanisms and brain circuits to anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders and metabolic syndrome.
Prof. Chen was the Head of the Department of Brain Sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science, and a Director and Scientific Member of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich, Germany.
