Biological Approach - Hormones and Behaviour
HORMONES
5 Trauma Responses
Adrenaline
"fight-or-flight" response
Stress hormone produced from adrenal glands + CNS.
It stimulates SNS
McGaugh + Cahill (1995)
Cortisol
stress hormone that is secreted by the adrenal cortex. Responsible for the breakdown of glucose in the fight-or-flight response. Appears to be linked to hippocampal cell loss and memory dysfunction.
Managing Stess - Primary hormone released in response to stress from the adrenal glands (coretx)
✔
Reduce inflammation
cotrols blood sugar levels
regulate metabloism
assist w/ memory formayion
Newcomer et al (1999)
Testosterone
Produced by the testes
Plays a role in aggressive behaviour (not actual agression)
Higher levls of testosterone = higher levels of agression
Ronay and von Hippel (2010)
HPA
When stimuli threatens the hypothalamus activates pirturity gland
Oxytocin
"cuddle hormone" - related to sexual arousal +bonding in couples (more for women)
Baugnter (2005)
Produced by hypothalmus + secreted by pituitary gland
PHEREMONES
A chemical substance produced and released into the enviroment by an animal, affecting the behaviour/physiology of others of its own species.
Putative pheromone
to communicate the idea that the example is "potentially" a human pheromone, but it is not definitive.
Signaling pheromones
chemical substances that produce rapid behavioral effects, such as mating
Savic et al (2005)
Cultler (1998*
Zhou (2004)
Human phereomones
Androstadienone (
AND
)
male semen and sweat.
Estratetraenol (
EST
)
female urine
Natural pheromones
vaginal secretions
Breath
Saliva
Sweat
Breast Milk
Body naturally secrete fluids through glands in our body that contain natural phereomnes
Smell
"pherein" = to transfer
"homon" = to excite
