Circadian and ultradian patterns of HPA-axis activity in rodents: Significance for brain functionality. This paper indicates
*HPA-axis rhythms promote adaptation to predictable (i.e. the earth's rotation) and unpredictable (i.e. stressors) changes in environmental factors.
*different patterns of corticosteroid release can be accurately predicted.
Does this mean that stress could be predicted? If so, could it be controlled ?
