    The neurobiological model hypothesizes how neurotransmitters and neurons influence human behavior. It focuses on the neurological system and how it impacts behavior. Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome notion is particularly relevant, dividing the body's stress response into alarm, resistance, and exhaustion phases.

    Neurobiological Model

    The neurobiological concept hypothesizes how neurotransmitters and neurons influence

    human behavior. “Like psychology, it investigates the various aspects that impact human

    behavior, but the focus is obviously on the neurological system,” as per Weiner and Craighead

    (2010). Many people have contributed to this paradigm, each with their ideas. Selye’s “General

    Adaptation Syndrome” notion is the one that I believe is most fitting to this model. This, as per

    Lecci (2015), was a significant and long-lasting notion. Even now, this notion has motivated

    psychologists and doctors to investigate the impacts of stress.

    In Selye’s concept, “General Adaptation Syndrome” (GAS) is divided into three

    different phases. These phases define how the bodies and thoughts respond to stress differently.

    The primary step is the alarming step. The fight-or-flight reaction is triggered in the alarm phase

    (Lucille, 2016). The “sympathetic nervous system” will activate whenever the body perceives a

    stressor, signaling the brain to react to the danger by absconding from the event. The resistance

    step is the subsequent step. The body opposes the stressor and pursues to counteract it by

    enabling the “parasympathetic nervous system” to strive to restore normal processes and

    emphasize physical resources contrary to the stressor’s ability to bend to the stress-strain. The

    tiredness stage is the third step. The stressors persist past the body’s capability, depleting the

    body’s means to the point where the body may no longer operate and is vulnerable to illness and

    death. Whenever the stressor(s) is acute and alternating, our system may recuperate from being

    fully prepared for the subsequent stressor; however, whenever the stressor(s) is acute, it could

    have a long-term impact on the body, causing each successive stressor to push the body closer to

    fatigue (Lucille, 2016).
