Excerpt
PREFACE The impact of stress on the effort of organisms to control the milieu inttrieur in order to maintain efficient physiological activities was the topic of the WHO meeting held in Montreal on 21-23 September 1998 at the Montreal Institute of Neurology (Montreal, Canada). An important contl-ibution made by the participants at the meeting was a clear definition of stress and it mTas proposed to define stress as inechanisms of acute and chronic adaptation necessary for evolution and survival. The integrated stress response is part of the homoeostatic balance, and dysfunction of such response may contribute to disease. The response to stress is therefore required for survival and evolution. This volume brings together the contributions of a distinguished international group of scientists \\rho work with -\rarious techniques and in various areas of biomedical research, but whose research has as a cominon theme the elucidation of the pathways and mechanisms by which the body responds to and adapts to swessors.
