“…In a related study with people, Brandenberger et al (1980) also showed a positive correlation between stress-induced increases in cortisol levels and memory. However, whereas Buchanan and Lovallo (2001) showed that elevated levels of cortisol correlated with enhanced memory, Brandenberger et al (1980) showed that elevated levels of cortisol correlated with impaired memory.…”

“…However, whereas Buchanan and Lovallo (2001) showed that elevated levels of cortisol correlated with enhanced memory, Brandenberger et al (1980) showed that elevated levels of cortisol correlated with impaired memory. The capacity for glucocorticoids to either enhance or impair memory has been a topic of discussion in recent years.…”

“…Studies on people have found that stress-evoked increases in cortisol have correlated with the degree of impaired memory (Brandenberger et al 1980;Neylan et al 2001;Wolf et al 2001). We present here the novel finding that a comparable process appears to occur in rats; stress-evoked increases in corticosterone correlated with impaired memory in a hippocampal-dependent task.…”

We have shown previously that psychological stress (predator exposure) impairs spatial memory in rats. We have extended that finding here to show that predator stress selectively impaired recently acquired (hippocampaldependent) spatial working memory without affecting long-term (hippocampal-independent) spatial reference memory. We also investigated why predator exposure impairs memory. Was spatial memory impaired because of the fear-provoking aspects of predator exposure or only because the cat was a novel and arousing stimulus? If the latter possibility was correct, then any novel and arousing stimulus, independent of its emotional valence (i.e., aversive or appetitive), would impair memory. We found that spatial working memory was not impaired when the male rats were exposed to a sexually receptive female rat, a stimulus that was novel and arousing to them, but not aversive. We also found that there was an equivalent increase in serum corticosterone levels in male rats exposed to either a cat or a female rat, but only the cat-exposed rats exhibited a significant correlation between corticosterone levels and impaired memory. Overall, this series of experiments demonstrates that (1) predator stress selectively impaired working (hippocampal-dependent), but not reference (hippocampal-independent), memory; (2) a fear-provoking stimulus, and not merely novelty and increased arousal, impaired spatial memory; and (3) increased corticosterone levels correlated with impaired spatial working memory only under predator exposure, that is, fear-provoking conditions.

“…More recently it was shown that stress, either mental or physical, increases the circulating cortisol concentration [18,19]. These external stimuli provoke secretory episodes which are superimosed on the spontaneous secretory episodes which make-up the circadian pattern.…”

1 The effects of oral sumatriptan (50, 100 and 200 mg), a 5-HT1 receptor agonist, and placebo, on circulating adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol concentrations were determined over 24 h after dosing, in 26 healthy male subjects. ACTH was measured by immunoradiometric assay and cortisol by radioimmunoassay. 2 After sumatriptan all subjects displayed a normal diurnal rhythm for circulating ACTH and cortisol compared with placebo. 3 There was a reduction in the trough circulating ACTH concentration over 0-4 h which was 18% with 100 mg (P = 0.002), and 25% with 200 mg (P < 0.001).The 5 h, post-prandial, peak ACTH concentration was reduced by 21% with 100 mg (P = 0.018) and by 20% with 200 mg (P = 0.024). The weighted mean ACTH over 24 h was reduced by 8% with 100 mg (P = 0.029) and by 8% with 200 mg (P = 0.018). The nadir concentration of ACTH over the 24 h and the ACTH concentration 24 h after sumatriptan were not, however, significantly reduced. All results are compared with placebo. 4 There was a reduction in the trough circulating cortisol concentration over 0-4 h which was 15% with 50 mg (P = 0.015), 14% with 100 mg (P = 0.022) and 24%with 200 mg (P < 0.001). The 5 h, post-prandial, peak cortisol concentration was reduced by 16% with 100 mg (P = 0.012) and by 15% with 200 mg (P = 0.017). The weighted mean cortisol over 24 h was reduced by 9% with 50 mg (P = 0.020), 9% by 100 mg (P = 0.024) and 12% by 200 mg (P = 0.002). The nadir concentration of cortisol over the 24 h and the cortisol concentration 24 h after the administration of sumatriptan were not, however, significantly reduced. All results are compared with placebo. 5 Sumatriptan did not inhibit the post-prandial peak in circulating concentrations of cortisol and ACTH, although there was a diminution of this peak following 100 mg and 200 mg relative to placebo. 6 There was no effect of sumatriptan on circulating ACTH and cortisol concentrations by 11 h after dosing, compared with placebo. 7 Sumatriptan has a small effect on the circulating cortisol concentration in healthy volunteers which is caused by a reduction in circulating ACTH concentration. These changes in hormone concentrations are within the normal diurnal variation and are not clinically important, even at twice the recommended therapeutic dose of 100 mg.

“…Concerning the effects of noise on cortisol and its metabolites BRAN-DENBERGER et al (1977) did not find any change under experimental noise exposure, while YAMAMURA et al (1982) reported a significant increase in urinary 17-OH-CS and an initial effect on saliva cortisol. In combination with a mental task BRANDENBERGER et al (1980) also found elevated plasma cortisol levels, possibly due to the higher degree of strain or to influences of cognitive variables. In field studies SKWARNA et al (1980) andRAI et al (1981) observed higher cortisol levels in chronic noise-exposed workers.…”
