The stress circuit or HPA-axis (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis) is thought to be one mechanism of how the brain and body work together to cause symptoms that can appear to be "psychosomatic".
This process is mediated by a stress circuit (see figure 1), which is consistently implicated in stress-related disorders such as mood and anxiety disorders and addictive disorders.

These receptors are distributed in overlapping yet distinct patterns within the brain's reward and stress circuits.
This hypothesis is consistent with evidence that suggests adaptations in brain reward and stress circuits, and local physiology (e.g., energy balance) can contribute to addictive processes.
Animal studies have indicated that the process of addiction depends on the dysregulation of neurochemical mechanisms in specific brain reward and stress circuits [ 40, 41].
Indeed, enhanced CeA/BNST CRF expression resembles what would be expected after chronic stress, leading to the hypothesis that negative addictive states (e.g., avoidance of withdrawal) are linked to alcohol-induced recruitment of chronic stress circuits (Koob 2009).
Painstakingly detailed neuroanatomical studies in experimental animals were among the first to demonstrate that organisms have evolved different stress circuits to adapt to life's variety of stressors (Goldstein and Kopin 2007; Pacak et al. 1998).
If you've repeatedly experienced failure in your classroom, your brain will have built up a strong stress response circuit.
In the context of the stress signaling circuit, integral feedback control occurs when the activity or abundance of T or G depends on the time integral of the difference of Y from the baseline (ΔY).
During this important time of brain development, neuroplasticity in stress regulatory circuits and HPA axis functioning are formed (Andersen 2003; Andersen and Teicher 2008; Eiland and Romeo 2013; Wulsin et al. 2016).
In the face of harsh natural environment applications such as earth-orbiting and deep space satellites, underwater sea vehicles, strong electromagnetic interference and temperature stress, the circuits faults appear easily.
