[Mechanisms of resistance to emotional stress: advantages of individual approach].

cal concern for widespread averaged approach to studying various stress indices is presented. The author demonstrates that the subjects predisposed and resistant to different physiological dysfunctions and survival are revealed in a great variety of experimental models and experiments. The animals resistant and predisposed to emotional stress are shown to present different behavior, autonomic reactions, varying rates of c-fos gene expression in the brain, different levels of catecholamines and oligopeptides in the brain structures. Specific chemical integration of neurons in the limbic-reticular brain structures determines animal resistance to emotional stress.
