Biochemistry of Human Brain

 

The brain is responsible for producing and regulating a variety of hormones, which are chemicals that help to regulate many different functions in the body. Some of the hormones that are produced in the brain include:

 

Cortisol: This hormone helps to regulate metabolism and the body's stress response.

 

Adrenaline: This hormone is released in response to stress or danger and helps to increase heart rate and blood pressure.

 

Oxytocin: This hormone is involved in social bonding and sexual reproduction.

 

Serotonin: This hormone helps to regulate mood, appetite, and sleep.

 

Dopamine: This hormone plays a role in reward and pleasure.
