Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Neurotransmitters: Chemical messengers that transmit signals across synapses between neurons; examples include dopamine (reward, pleasure) and serotonin (mood regulation).
  • Genetics: The study of hereditary factors influencing behavior; twin and adoption studies show genetic contributions to traits and mental health.
  • Brain Structures: Specific areas of the brain (e.g., hippocampus, amygdala, prefrontal cortex) responsible for functions like memory, emotion, and decision-making.
  • Hormones: Chemical substances produced by glands (e.g., adrenaline, cortisol) that regulate physiological processes and influence behavior.
  • Biological Basis of Behavior: The idea that biological processes—such as neural activity, genetics, and hormones—underpin psychological functions and behaviors.
