Systems of Your Body 2
Dear Friend, Welcome back! For most of us in the Northern Hemisphere, school is back in session.
Systems of Your Body 1
Dear Friend, As we prepare to return to school in the Northern Hemisphere, we also prepare ourselves for change and, in many cases, disruption to several of the systems we experience, including the systems in our body.
Neurotransmitters 10: Adrenaline
Dear Friend, Have you ever experienced an adrenaline rush? What was it like?
Neurotransmitters 9: Glutamate
Dear Friend, Are you interested in helping your students expand their learning and memory? It’s time to get excited about glutamate!
Neurotransmitters 8: Cortisol
Dear Friend, Cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, gets a bad rap as the stress hormone. But is it always a villain?
Neurotransmitters 6: Oxytocin
Dear Friend, Oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone,” supports our ability to feel love. Feelings of love help us demonstrate empathy and compassion for ourselves and others, enabling us to develop positive relationships.
Neurotransmitters 4: Melatonin
Dear Friend, Teenagers sleep a lot, especially in the summer. But they might wake up feeling tired.
Neurotransmitters 3: Serotonin
Dear Friend, Last week, we suggested taking inventory of the “feel-good” hormone dopamine, which can feel like a wild rush. This week, we’re paying attention to serotonin, which promotes feelings of joy and well-being.
