How Do Environmental Factors Influence Histology and Behavior?
Environmental factors such as stress, diet, and exposure to toxins can cause histological changes that impact behavior. Chronic stress, for instance, can lead to alterations in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, affecting both cognitive function and emotional regulation. Similarly, a diet high in fat and sugar can induce changes in brain structure and function, potentially leading to behavioral issues such as anxiety and depression.
