2. 2Certain genes and the proteins they encode can influence the structure and function of the brain and in turn the nature and content of the mind. Yet these genes only shape the broad outline of mental and behavioral functions and therefore do not determine the mind. Moreover, some actions of the endocrine and immune systems can influence our mental states. Stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol released by the adrenal glands can affect structures of the central nervous system that sustain our mental states. A certain class of cytokines released by the immune system can also disrupt critical functions of the central nervous system and can causally contribute to or exacerbate the negative moods symptomatic of major depression. So the biological basis of the mind is mainly but not entirely neurobiological.
