Comprehensive Study Notes on the Biological Approach

Evolutionary Influences on Behaviour
Ever wondered why parents risk everything for their children? Darwin's theory of natural selection explains that behaviours helping us survive get passed down through our genes. This means the traits you have today helped your ancestors stay alive long enough to reproduce.
Altruistic behaviour is a perfect example - when parents sacrifice for their offspring, they're actually ensuring their genes survive into the next generation. It's not just about individual survival; it's about keeping the family gene pool going.
The evolutionary environment of adaptiveness (EEA) refers to the specific conditions our species adapted to over time. Only behaviours that genuinely helped survival in these environments became part of our genetic makeup.
Key Point: Natural selection isn't just about physical traits - it shapes psychological behaviours too, which is why certain instincts feel so natural to us.
Brain Structure and Language Processing
Your brain isn't just one big thinking blob - different areas have specialised jobs, and understanding this localisation of brain function is essential for psychology. The cerebral cortex handles your higher-level thinking, whilst each lobe manages specific tasks.
The frontal lobe controls thinking and creativity, basically shaping your personality. Your parietal lobe processes sensory information from touch to temperature. Meanwhile, the temporal lobe handles memory and hearing, whilst the occipital lobe deals with everything visual.
Language processing happens in two key areas. Broca's area in the left frontal lobe controls speech production - damage here makes speaking incredibly difficult. Wernicke's area in the temporal lobe handles language comprehension, so damage means you can't understand what others are saying.
Remember: Brain damage to specific areas causes predictable problems, which proves different regions have distinct functions.
How Neurotransmitters Affect Behaviour
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that allow your brain cells to communicate at connection points called synapses. Think of them as the brain's postal service - they carry important messages that either excite or calm down the receiving neuron.
Serotonin is your mood, sleep, and appetite regulator. When serotonin levels drop too low, depression often follows. This connection explains why many antidepressants target serotonin systems.
Dopamine links to reward-driven behaviour and pleasure-seeking. Interestingly, abnormal dopamine activity associates with schizophrenia symptoms, showing how neurotransmitter imbalances can cause serious mental health conditions.
Clinical Connection: Understanding neurotransmitters is crucial because most psychiatric medications work by altering these chemical systems.
Relationship Formation: Evolution and Chemistry
From an evolutionary perspective, we don't choose partners randomly - natural selection influences who we find attractive. Males typically select females showing fertility, youth, and health signals, whilst females often choose males who can provide resources for potential offspring.
Parental Investment Theory explains why females tend to be choosier about partners. Since women invest more time and energy in pregnancy and childcare, they need partners who'll stick around and provide support.
Neurotransmitters also drive relationship formation. Dopamine creates that "natural high" feeling when we're attracted to someone, literally making relationships rewarding. Oxytocin promotes human bonding - physical contact increases oxytocin levels, strengthening emotional connections.
Fascinating Fact: Your brain chemistry actually changes when you're in love, making relationships feel genuinely addictive.
Kin Selection and Group Survival
Kin selection explains why you naturally want to help your siblings, even when it costs you something. Evolutionary theory suggests we're programmed to protect people who share our genes because it helps our genetic material survive into future generations.
This creates a natural incentive to look after family members. You might sacrifice for a sibling because, genetically speaking, helping them succeed helps your shared genes continue.
This drive to form chemical bonds with others, especially relatives, shows how evolution shapes not just individual survival instincts but also our social behaviours and family loyalty.
Think About It: Notice how you instinctively want to help family members more than strangers - that's kin selection in action.
Drug Therapy: The Medical Approach
The medical model treats psychological disorders like physical illnesses - if there's a biological cause, there should be a biological cure. Psychotherapeutic drugs work by altering neurotransmitter systems in specific brain regions, particularly the limbic system which regulates emotions.
Conventional antipsychotics treat schizophrenia by blocking dopamine receptors completely, preventing excess dopamine activity. However, atypical antipsychotics are smarter - they temporarily occupy dopamine receptors then quickly detach, allowing normal dopamine transmission whilst still controlling symptoms.
This targeted approach means drugs can address specific symptoms without completely shutting down important brain systems. Different medications target different neurotransmitters depending on the condition being treated.
Clinical Insight: Modern psychiatric medications are designed to be more precise, reducing side effects whilst maintaining therapeutic benefits.
Types of Psychiatric Medications
SSRIs (antidepressants) work by blocking enzymes that break down serotonin and reducing its reabsorption rate. This leaves more serotonin available in synapses, improving mood regulation over time.
Benzodiazepines are anti-anxiety medications that slow down your central nervous system by enhancing GABA activity - your brain's natural anxiety relief system. They're effective but can be habit-forming.
Beta-blockers tackle anxiety differently by reducing adrenaline activity. They bind to heart cell receptors, making it harder for stress hormones to stimulate physical anxiety symptoms like rapid heartbeat.
Important: Different anxiety medications work through different mechanisms, which is why doctors might try several before finding what works best for you.
Effectiveness and Side Effects
Research consistently shows psychiatric medications outperform placebos. Soomro et al. (2008) reviewed 17 studies and found SSRIs significantly more effective than placebos for OCD symptoms. Kahn et al. (1986) followed 250 patients and confirmed similar results over eight weeks.
However, effectiveness comes with trade-offs. Common SSRI side effects include nausea, headaches, and insomnia, which might make patients stop treatment. Tricyclic antidepressants have worse side effects than SSRIs, so they're typically reserved for cases where SSRIs don't work.
Long-term effectiveness data remains limited, making it difficult to predict how well medications will work over extended periods.
Reality Check: While medications are proven effective, finding the right one often involves trial and error due to individual differences in response.
Limitations of Drug Therapy
Drug therapy often treats symptoms rather than underlying causes, leading to "revolving door syndrome" where patients cycle in and out of treatment without ever fully recovering. The root psychological or social issues may remain unaddressed.
However, drug therapy offers practical advantages. It's relatively cheap for patients and requires less practitioner time compared to lengthy psychotherapy sessions. Medications are also efficient and easy to administer, making them accessible treatment options.
The challenge lies in balancing immediate symptom relief with long-term recovery goals. Many experts now advocate combining medication with therapy for optimal results.
Key Consideration: Medication can provide the stability needed for other treatments to be effective, rather than being the complete solution alone.
Ethical Issues in Drug Research
Placebo use in drug trials raises serious ethical questions. Should patients receive treatments known to be inferior when effective alternatives exist? This creates a genuine dilemma between research needs and patient welfare.
Informed consent becomes complicated when patients aren't in the right mental state to make clear decisions about their treatment. Additionally, medical professionals might not fully inform patients about alternative treatments, limiting their ability to make truly informed choices.
Patient deception during research trials also raises concerns about trust and transparency in the doctor-patient relationship.
Ethical Dilemma: Balancing the need for rigorous research with the obligation to provide the best possible care for individual patients remains an ongoing challenge in psychiatric medicine.

Understanding how our brains work and why we behave the way we do is crucial for psychology students. This content explores evolutionary influences on behaviour, brain structure and function, and how drug therapies treat psychological disorders.
