Visual aid addition[edit source]

Hi there, you look like you are still in the process of developing your book chapter. To improve visual aids I would recommend adding in a picture of Cortisol, I found one on Wikicommons that may be of use to you Cortisol Cortisol. Best of luck with submission!

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for sentence casing. For example, the wikitext should be:

== Cats and mice ==

rather than

== Cats and Mice ==

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is well reviewed and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. Some claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).

    1. Promising use of embedded in-text links to Wikipedia articles. Use in-text interwiki links, rather than external links, per Tutorial 1.
