  2. Effects of stress on memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_stress_on_memory

    Acute stress can also affect a person's neural correlates which interfere with the memory formation. During a stressful time, a person's attention and emotional state may be affected, which could hinder the ability to focus while processing an image. Stress can also enhance the neural state of memory formation. [clarification needed] [29]

  3. Confounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confounding

    A reduction in the potential for the occurrence and effect of confounding factors can be obtained by increasing the types and numbers of comparisons performed in an analysis. If measures or manipulations of core constructs are confounded (i.e. operational or procedural confounds exist), subgroup analysis may not reveal problems in the analysis.

  4. Malleability of intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malleability_of_intelligence

    Psychological factors and preconceived notions about intelligence can be as influential on intelligence as genetic makeup. Children with early chronic stress show impaired corticolimbic connectivity in development. Early chronic stress is defined as inconsistent or inadequate care-giving and disruption to early rearing environment.

  5. Memory improvement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_improvement

    The hippocampus regulates memory function. Memory improvement is the act of enhancing one's memory. Factors motivating research on improving memory include conditions such as amnesia, age-related memory loss, people’s desire to enhance their memory, and the search to determine factors that impact memory and cognition.

  6. Allostatic load - Wikipedia

    In the immune system, the increase in levels of chronic stress results in the elevation of inflammation. The increase in inflammation levels is caused by the ongoing activation of the sympathetic nervous system. [5] The impairment of cell-mediated acquired immunity is also a factor resulting in the immune system due to chronic stress. [5]

    Probes can also have species-specific binding affinities that can confound comparative analysis. Notably, the association between behavioural patterns and high penetrance single gene loci falls under the purview of neurogenetics research, wherein the focus is to identify a simple causative relationship between a single, high penetrance gene and ...

  9. Stress (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology)

    Environmental factors, internal or external stimuli, continually disrupt homeostasis; an organism's present condition is a state of constant flux moving about a homeostatic point that is that organism's optimal condition for living. [22] Factors causing an organism's condition to diverge too far from homeostasis can be experienced as stress.
