Neuroendocrine and Autonomic Correlates of Animal Personalities
Neuroendocrine and Autonomic Correlates of Animal Personalities
This chapter explores the relationship between physiological and behavioral traits commonly considered in animal personality assessments, discussing the physiological responses to stress and the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA), the sympatho-adrenomedullary pathway (SAM), and the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis (HPG). It also presents evidence on linking the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, as well as cortical brain structures such as the hippocampus, to behavioral variations.
Keywords: animal personality, stress, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal, sympatho-adrenomedullary pathway, sam, hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal, hpg, neurotransmitters, serotonin, dopamine
