Episode 5: The Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal (HPA) Axis What The Sh*t
-
- Health & Fitness
In episode 5 of WTS* we go over the HPA-axis.
Topics include (but are not limited to)
• what are hormones
• The three classes: monoamines, peptides/proteins, and steroids
• The anterior and posterior pituitary
• The HPA axis and producing cortisol
• The prefrontal cortex and the amygdala and how you can train your reactions
• Today’s FSF is the “Poop Bus”

26:05 — I say “inhibitory feedback” which is a technically incorrect. Inhibitory feedback is not a thing, in these events it’s considered negative feedback which ends up causing inhibitory signals to whatever axis or pathway its acting on.
42:29 — I say voluntary actions which is misleading. What I mean is in terms of methodical actions of your own volition. For example, to pick up a cup is voluntary, but you don’t really think about picking up the cup, this is not a prefrontal cortex (PFC) situation. However, to decide to quit a job would be something that your PFC would have been largely involved in and ultimately the master and commander of that action.
44:01 — I say “activation signals” with the amygdala to the hypothalamus its really “excitatory” and that creates activation.
