The Stress Hyporesponsive Period (SHRP) refers to a developmental stage in early life, typically observed in mammals, including humans, during which the stress response system is temporarily less reactive or responsive. This period is characterized by a diminished physiological response to stressors, such as a reduced release of stress hormones like cortisol.
