Psychological and immunological stress effects may be dissociated, the latter considerably exceeding the stress period and a closer look at the temporal dynamics of stress-induced immune alterations might increase the understanding of psychoimmuno relationships.
Abstract
Psychological and immunological stress effects may be dissociated, the latter considerably exceeding the stress period. A closer look at the temporal dynamics of stress-induced immune alterations might increase our understanding of psychoimmuno relationships.
