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
