title: Invited commentary: complexities in evaluating neurobiological models for stress resistance.
abstract: Professors Salmon and Stanford are to be commended for their efforts in drawing attention to noradrenergic contributions to stress resistance and the potential importance of within-subject patterns of stress response. In commenting on their paper, I would like to develop the following points: (1) self-control over stress exposure strongly influences the noradrenergic response to stress; (2) β-receptor regulation may reflect a lower sensitivity to stress under a carefully specified range of conditions; and (3) genetic and environmental factors may interact in a complex fashion that may not fit simple linear models based on β-receptor function.
