Acharangenetics; Behaviour Psychology as Gene Regulation Tool
Keywords:
behaviour, genes, acharangentics, psychology, hormone, brain, charactersAbstract
Behavior is satellite responses to its environment generated by our social brain - the system that we consider as mind. Mind endeavor over persuasion on which behavior develops. Our characters are responses of some hormones produce in the cell of different gland. The shift in concentration of hormones leads to change in character. This article reviews various effects of hormones on our physiological status and hence behavioural responses. All the body hormones produced by body cell are actually controlled and managed by the genes present in the cell. As the brain (hypothalamus) sense any character or any situation it sends the response to various hormone glands and the glands synthesis the protein as per the command of active gene. Depending upon various factors behavioural response shifts vary wisely. As the behavior is controlled by the hormones, the genes which are modulating hormones synthesis must be switching off and on as per response from brain. Specific hormone for the specific task of behaviour is produced under the command of brain. We have attempted to establish a relationship between behaviour and genes so that a new study should accomplish in the motive to control the gene activity by the mode of behaviour psychology. The word Acharangenetics has been coined to explain the relation of behaviour psychology and genes. The word Acharangenetics is a compound word, form by combination of two words - Acharan Hindi origin word meaning behaviour and the second word is genetics - the study of heredity.
