Mind-Body Connection

Caption

Neural circuit that drives physical responses to emotional stress. Emotional stress signals are processed in the 'emotion' circuits and integrated in the DP/DTT. The integrated signals are transmitted to the hypothalamus which then drives a variety of physical responses through circuits that control "body" functions. The discovered 'mind-body' connection constitutes a key part of the stress circuit in the brain.
