摘要

This chapter explores the influence of hormones, pain, and other major biological functions on behavior. In particular, numerous connections between endocrine systems and neurophysiology will be highlighted through the description of key physiological functions. Section 3.1 examines endocrinological functions and their behavioral influences. Section 3.2 delves into the major biological functions common to all mammals, with a focus on their expression in the feline species. Section 3.3 addresses pain and its consequences. While clinical veterinary psychiatry primarily focuses on brain functions for diagnostic purposes, understanding these major biological functions remains essential to maintaining a comprehensive approach to feline behavior.
