Stress



The link below is to an audio lecture by Robert Sapolsky, Professor of neuroscience at Stanford University, and provides an overview of the effect of acute and chronic stress on the body and its impact on the the brain. In this audio lecture he discusses his research investigating the stress response in Baboons. This is a good example of a field experiment using animals.
