Stress and neuroendocrinology

We have all had those days where nothing seems to go right and we are stressed beyond belief. We also think that there is no relation from science to the way we are feeling, but as a matter of fact there is a huge science behind stress, and that is called Nueroendocrinology. This field is full of fascinating new discoveries each day, the field is constantly making advancements to help relieve and prevent further problems of imbalances in the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system is really a system where the nervous system and the endocrine system correlate together to create these impulses and reactions that all relate directly to stress and how we act. The government has denied multiple requests for funding to different research projects in regards to neuroendocrinology, and left the financing to private companies. How can we fix the country’s drug problem if the government refuses to fund research towards a safe complete alternative? We simply cannot. There has to be funding set aside for research on a medication to fix the countries problem with stress relating to drug use, because it would lower the amounts of drug usage nationwide because we would have a safe alternative neuroendocratic medication.

The first two scientists that founded and pioneered the way for neuroendocrinology were Ernst and Berta Scharrar, they co-founded the study, and paved the way for the foundation the research has. The spark of the study started when they noticed something in regards to neuropeptides. While they were accredited as founders, Geoffrey Harris is considered the true founder of neuroendocrinology, when he proved that the anterior pituitary gland of mammals is regulated by hormones secreted by hypothalamic neurons into the...

...elp relieve some of the tension that ensues coming back to the country while out of the service, the bottom line is that when they are done serving they have to go back to a family that will never have the same person the soldier once was. While there has been evidence to show in a study performed by Tamara B. Franklin that proved Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a significantly stronger neuroendocratic imbalance that could be solved with the same medication used to regulate normal cases of imbalances.
The government needs to start funding research projects for neuroendocratic medication, that would decrease the countries drug and alcohol abuse rate, and also the severity of PTSD carried home by the great men and women that serve this amazing government. I see this always being an issue but I do seeing it gaining support of the government because of the people.
