Abstract

This investigation brings to light the relevant biomarkers to resilience, through a scientific revision, by resemblance to the neurological methodology of cerebral damaged structures that for understand the functions of the damaged structures, observe which functions should be activated and aren’t, we examine the pathologies which the most expressive functions of resilience – socials, adaptability and flexibility – are compromised. The case of PTSD, for evident nature of coping stress/trauma strategies, as well as ASPD and Autism assumed by scientific literature as resulting from not only environmental conditions – same to say with potentiality to aggravate the pathologic situation or benefit from it, and then so, not necessarily irreversible in amplitude, although more of its etiology are still to be enlightened – but also resulting of congenic conditions and observable since firsts life cycles, unlike the Psychotic, Humor Disorders or other from the Anxiety domain, which ones could emerge throughout any life cycle or which have other compromised functions than those whose dominant diagnostic criteria correspond to those functions we want to observe. Therefore, we concluded that the most relevant biomarkers to resilience are: oxytocin and vasopressin, cortisol, dehidroepiandrosterone, glycose, catecholamine and serotonin.
