hormones and behavior  

Definition

  • Definition A hormone is something produced in the body that circulates in the bloodstream and then influences the activity of living cells that are far from where it was produced. Because hormones travel to their target tissue, they are sometimes referred to as signaling molecules. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Hormones and Behavior]
