biological psychology is that human behavior is the result of internal physical‚ chemical‚ and biological processes. Biopsychology aims to uncover explanations for behavior through brain activity‚ the nervous system‚ physical factors‚ genetic makeup‚ the endocrine system‚ bio-chemistry‚ and evolution (Robins‚ Gosling & Craik‚ 1999). Historical Beginnings Historically‚ biopsychology can be dated back to the Ancient Greeks. Plato was the first to propose that the brain was the organ of reasoning unlike

integral regulators in the development of normal breast tissue‚ however it also plays a role in cancer development and progression (Martin et al‚ 2000). Tamoxifen is known as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)‚ it has been the “mainstay of endocrine therapy in breast cancer” (Martin et al‚ 2000). Tamoxifen is effective when used against estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancers‚ problems arise when the breast cancer is estrogen receptor negative (ER-). We took two cell lines‚ MDA MB 231

Topic 6: Mammalian Pheromones Abstract A pheromone is a chemical signal which is released by one animal and received by another‚ which induce a species specific reaction. Pheromones are detected via chemosensory systems known as the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO). Within a wide range of mammals the VNO is used to elicit a generalized sexual response‚ primarily affecting the reproductive tract. This is seen in most terrestrial mammals who have adapted to sensing volatile chemical signals; the Mouse displays
