Douglas C. Johnson,Nathaniel J. Thom,Elizabeth A. Stanley,Lori Haase,Alan N. Simmons,Pei-an Betty Shih,Wesley K. Thompson,Eric G. Potterat,Thomas R. Minor,Martin P. Paulus +9 more
TL;DR: The results show that mechanisms related to stress recovery can be modified in healthy individuals prior to stress exposure, with important implications for evidence-based mental health research and treatment.
A neuroscience approach to optimizing brain resources for human performance in extreme environments
Martin P. Paulus,Eric G. Potterat,Marcus K. Taylor,Karl F. Van Orden,James Bauman,Nausheen Momen,Genieleah A. Padilla,Judith L. Swain,Judith L. Swain +8 more
TL;DR: The cognitive, emotional, and behavioral consequences of exposure to extreme environments are summarized, predictors of performance are discussed, and a case for the use of neuroscience approaches to quantify and understand optimal cognitive and behavioral performance is built.

When the brain does not adequately feel the body: Links between low resilience and interoception
Lori Haase,Jennifer L. Stewart,Brittany Youssef,April C. May,Sara Isakovic,Alan N. Simmons,Alan N. Simmons,Douglas C. Johnson,Eric G. Potterat,Martin P. Paulus,Martin P. Paulus +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined neural processes of resilience during aversive interoceptive processing and found that individuals with lower resilience show reduced attention to bodily signals but greater neural processing to aversive bodily perturbations.
