#AskDifferent 48 - Exposure to stress affects us in remarkably different ways — and neuroscientist Dr Sarah Ayash, Einstein Independent Researcher at Charité – Universitätsmedizin, is on a mission to find out why. Her research with mice reveals how individuals can respond very differently to the same social stressor: some become vulnerable, others remain resilient, and a surprising third group fails to learn to recognise threat at all. By uncovering the brain mechanisms behind these responses, Ayash shows that resilience is not a fixed trait but an active, learnable process. She also emphasises that mild, manageable stress is essential for strengthening our “psychological immune system” — and that avoiding stress altogether is counterproductive.
