The image is a screenshot of a scientific paper. The focus is on the title and abstract of the paper. The title is "Stress signalling pathways that impair prefrontal cortex structure and function". The abstract discusses the prefrontal cortex and its role in cognitive abilities and stress response. The mood is academic and informative. The author's name and affiliation are clearly visible. ON-SCREEN TEXT: Stress signalling pathways that impair prefrontal cortex structure and function Amy F. T. Arnsten Department of Neurobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, Connecticut 06510, USA. [email protected] Abstract The prefrontal cortex (PFC)—the most evolved brain region—subserves our highest-order cognitive abilities. However, it is also the brain region that is most sensitive to the detrimental effects of stress exposure. Even quite mild acute uncontrollable stress can cause a rapid and dramatic loss of prefrontal cognitive abilities, and more prolonged stress exposure causes architectural changes in prefrontal dendrites.
