Abstract in brief
The study investigates how chronic work-related stress (burnout) affects emotional regulation and brain connectivity, finding that stressed individuals struggle to downregulate negative emotions despite normal startle responses.
Brain imaging shows weakened functional connectivity between the amygdala (emotional processing center) and regions involved in regulation like the anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in stressed subjects, indicating impaired emotional control.
Conversely, connectivity between the amygdala and areas like the cerebellum and insula is increased in stressed individuals, suggesting altered limbic network functioning that may facilitate ongoing stress and emotional dysregulation.]
