This art project provides a diagram depicting the pathway of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis that is responsible for regulating cortisol secretion in response to stress. Also pictured are examples of dysfunctional HPA axis cortical pathways in comparison to a normal cortical negative feedback loop.

My art project is a visual aid to show the different regions of the brain, their functions and how traumatic brain injuries (TBI’s) can effect each region of the brain.
