Show Notes
Robert Sapolsky, Stanford professor of biology and neurology, has written the great book “Behave” about what causes human behavior, from the most recent moments, to far back in time. I am enjoying this book thus far
In this episode is information from chapters 1 through 4 of the book, including:
- regions of the brain and their purposes
- triggers of behavior, and subtle cuing
- impacts of hormones on behavior, including testosterone and oxytocin
- stress and its impacts on learning and fear
Hope you enjoy the material in some form as I do~
