Scientists have used one of the world’s most powerful X-ray machines, the particle accelerator called the Diamond Light Source, to identify the molecule responsible for feelings of stress, anxiety and even depression. The protein receptor CRF1 is responsible for releasing hormones which can cause anxiety and depression over extended periods of time. The protein receptor is found in the brain and controls our response to stress. When it detects stress molecules released by the hypothalamus, it releases these hormones.
