Reading Response: NonFiction Article due 3/20


This article was mainly about underlying human behaviors. People’s social and emotional behaviors are very unknown these days. Scientist in UCLA have measured the release of specific peptide a neurotransmitter called hypocretin, greatly increases when you’re happy and decreases when you’re sad. The past studies have shown that boosting hypocretin can increase mood and alertness in us humans.


I feel like this article had a lot to do with some of the stuff that I have learned in past science classes. For example mood swings and emotional problems and/or behavior. Also this article was really easy to understand and it was very well written. I was sure of the purpose of this article and I fully understood what the authors point was to get across.
