Notes for biological psychology on hormones and the brain. These notes can be used for university and even A Levels. I always tried to make my notes simple and precise and broken down into bullet points, to make it easier whilst looking back on them. This document includes: hormonal communication, neural and hormonal communication, principles of hormonal action, differences between hormonal and neural communications, structure of hormones, how hormones work, longevity effects of hormonal signals, adrenal gland hormones, pituitary gland hormones, thyroid and hormones, hormones and sexual behaviour, pineal gland. These notes should be used as a starting point for own further research and addition of information if necessary:)

Hormones and the brain
Hormones are chemicals secreted by one cell group that travel through the
bloodstream to act on targets


Endocrine glands: release hormones within the body, straight into the bloodstream
(e.g. pancreas, ovaries, testes)
Exocrine glands: use ducts (e.g. tear ducts) to secrete fluids such as tears and
sweat outside of the body


Understanding of hormones
 Castration (removal of gonads, usually testes), results in behavioural and
physiological changes. Berthold (1849) through experiment has found that
testes release a chemical into the bloodstream that affects male behaviour
and body structure
