For cortisol to be released from the adrenal gland‚ a cascade of signaling occurs. Corticotropin-releasing hormone released from the hypothalamus stimulates corticotrophs in the anterior pituitary to release ACTH‚ which relays the signal to the adrenal cortex. Here‚ the zona fasciculata and zona reticularis‚ in response to ACTH‚ secrete glucocorticoids‚ in particular cortisol. In the peripheral tissues‚ cortisol is converted to cortisone by the enzyme 11-beta-steroid

Sorrow‚ bereavement‚ and distress are some reactions to loss of a loved one as a result of death.

Motivation and the Brain in Refraining From Drug Use Neuroscience and psychology have been working hand in hand for some time now to determine why and how behaviors occur in human personality‚ and what motivates individuals to do what they do. Perhaps one of the most studied phenomena that affects motivation‚ the thought processes‚ and social interactivity‚ is the study of drug addiction. The study of drug addiction has benefited greatly from advances in scanning and imaging technology such

Relevant thesis. Animal testing is a hot question of debate‚ because of the bioethics behind it. There are two main sides of the issue to this topic that many people fall into one of the camps of. The first is that of antivivisectionist who believe that any living animal should not be tested on for research purposes. Antivivisectionist would not only note that the pain inflicted upon animals is unneeded for current advances in medicine. While those in vitro models are not perfected yet‚ they provide
