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~
