Mind map investigating the effects disrupting biological rhythms in shift work and jet lag

These pages explore those micro elements of human behaviour that influence how we think, feel and behave:-

• Biological Psychology: how our biology - genes, brain structure, neurotransmitters, hormones and biological rhythms influence us
• Aspects of Cognitive Psychology which influence us - particularly in the areas of attention and memory
