Popis: Resilience is the ability to adapt successfully in the face of severe stress, trauma, or adversity. Over the past several decades, a wide range of studies in children and later in adults identified several key psychosocial characteristics associated with resilience, including emotion regulation, cognitive flexibility, positive emotions, and the availability of social support, among others. More recent studies are increasingly employing integrative approaches, incorporating genomic, neuroendocrine, and neuroimaging data to the study of resilience. This chapter reviews our current understanding of the neurobiology of resilience from genomic, developmental, psychosocial, neuroendocrine, brain circuitry, and integrative perspectives, and includes a final section focusing on implications for prevention and treatment of stress-related psychopathology.
